Since we're the biggest guy on the block, I think we are OBLIGATED (not shouting, just don't know how to make italics) to go get the bastards doing these atrocities and hang them by the balls. I know this doesn't sit well with isolationist thinking. So what? Why is this different from helping a rape or mugging victim in an alley in Chicago? To hell with Osama! We should have been there already. Do we only care when they kill "our" people? Aren't we all "our people"? I don't say that we ought to force our culture or politics on others. That is not what I mean. What I mean is.......if someone is getting their ass kicked because they are weak or were born a woman and if they're screaming for help, we oughta go help.Chip A.
