Aside from the obvious danger in taunting and provoking violence in a country in which we have staged a bloody invasion, Bush should be forced to answer to whether it is best to arm ourselves, and the world to follow, with the hollow reasoning of keeping up with perceived threats to our 'security'; or is it more reasonable and more practical to reach out to the world diplomatically; to lessen the animosity toward America that our military interventions have engendered?

Our aggression resigns the nation to a perpetual global threat against the United States and our interests. Diplomacy provides hope that the killing among all countries would end, by the force of our collective resolve; not at the point of a weapon.

Yet, imposing our nation's military on the world seems to be the only means Bush can think of to get anyone to pay any attention to him. There will be no dialogue with other nations as long as he insists on planting his imperious foot firmly on their throat as he crusades for greed and power.
