ijustlovit: In all due respect I understand your point of view. However if you believe having an apologist as our leader will keep us safe then I might suggest you revisit history.

Dealing with other countries is no different than dealing with a bully, unless and until you face them down they will continue to poke at you and will never respect you.

There are so many countries that would love to see America fall and no matter how and what you say that will always be their agena, and not so hidden I might add.

Like you I hate war but to believe that the world can live without some blood-letting is to ignore the limits placed on nature.
