So I guess you prefer we just run into every sovereign nation on the planet that doesn't just cow down to us and comply. Sorry, but we aren't a nation of ignorant cowboys. People use their brains a little more these days, instead of just running headfirst into another conflict. And, the American people as a whole aren't as easily swayed by the propaganda we see on the news everyday. After the last deception that pushed us into a long war, people are a bit more wise to the game. And frankly, Obama is handling these situations as he should. Not like a war monger, but like a diplomat. It seems like after 9/11 too many Americans have just said screw diplomacy in favor of conflict. But fighting is and always should be the last option. This was a lesson most of us learned as children. Fighting hardly ever really solves the problem, as is evident when looking at almost every major conflict throughout history. And until there is an actual threat to the United States, Obama's current course of action is spot on.

Default Oh...I agree

This country and some of its citizens have no morals or values any more. I hope if something big happens we can stick together. I know we have been headed in the wrong direction for some time.

One should not respond to circumstance with artificial and "wooden" prearrangement. Your action should be like the immediacy of a shadow adapting to its moving object. Your task is simply to complete the other half of the oneness spontaneously.
In combat, spontaneity rules; rote performance of technique perishes.
Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
