Fight the battle for them?

Their all on the same side.

When an American Ambassador gets killed. Someone should have to pay.
Sure. The hunt is on.

They do these things and have found out that there is no repercusion.
You think OBL and the #2 man would agree?

Now you may want us to stay out of it, but let's face it, America will always be involved in the Mediterranean area.
I never said we should stay out of it. We have been in it for a long time, and I don't see any change in that approach.

If America were to duck out, we surely would end up on the wrong end of the stick.
Then I guess you are happy to learn we are not ducking out.

Your idea is that they will leave us alone, my idea is that they won't.
Where did I say that?

What should America do?

Apologize?

Figure out a way to tell them that they are all still living in the 3rd century.

Kick their a~ses and encourage them to stand up straight and enter the 21st century? If not - fu&k 'em.
I don't know the answer. What we are dealing with are people that seem to be sub-human (for lack of a better term). What is wrong with them? One thing I have to ask is, "Don't any of them work?" You have all these men on the streets throwing grenades RPG's etc. How is it that they have the time? Is it their women that are supporting them? Are they just lazy, or are they just ignorant?

I don't understand how it's possible.

Right....
What is your definition of "invasion". I did not invent the definition I gave you.

And Bush invading Afghanistan and Iraq and failing at both has made us "safer?" Did empowering Iran to be the dominant power in the Middle East make us safer?

Well, I've never believed JFK was anything but the victim of a nut job.

I don't know what the hell the game plan was for LBJ or Nixon but it sure didn't produce anything useful.
