They'll try. But with a fraction of fraction of the money we are wasting “fighting them over there,” we can make America as safe as one can. Even so, shit will happen. (At least with the wimps in charge we'll have medical care for the wounded.)
So that's where I am now. That's what it's come to for me. My new bottom line: De-Baathify America and turn the place over to the wimps – the Democrats. Give America and Americans a decade or so to heal. Give us, and our children and grandkids a new New Deal, a few years of re-balancing the distrubition of wealth, funding of those wimpish social programs, of allowing real scientists be real scientists, a few years of rest for our brave but exhausted troops, some long overdue --and hopefully not too late -- forced reductions in carbon emissions and a decade or two of balancing our national checkbook ... that kind of stuff..
That's what I want -- those kinds of "wimpish" leaders.
