obtuse-imperceptive, slow witted, we aint talking geometry here.

Did you even read that long article you pasted in from this Thomas Patrick Carroll? I did. I even went to a few of the articles it cited. It pretty much makes more intelligent arguments to support my point of view than I would bother to type out. If the US fails to take the long term into consideration when it acts, it is not just America that is lost. When the President said he was against nation building, then does a 180 and starts doing just that in two nasty Islamic countries, I was pretty pissed, at first. The way to end this stuff is to destroy its breeding ground. If all the countries in the world were Democracies, we would have a lot fewer problems, that seems clear to me after careful consideration.

I made the hillary comment to see if I could get a rise out of you, apparently it worked. I was just kidding, sort of. I do believe that she is a vindictive bitch who would leap at the chance for a little payback, but I don't think you need to send her a letter to put her to work on it.
