banana, regarding you're statement about prestige and reputation, the "real world" isn't a college campus where "free thinkers" are respected and admired for their rebellion against the system. Power isn't bestowed, it is taken, often violently, always forcefully. The liberal utopia so many dream of can only exist in a society protected by violence.

That sounds a lot like how Kaiser Wilhelm II thought. He was always talking about how it was Germany's might which would place her in the spotlight of history and give her her rightful place at the top of nations. I'll look and see if I can find some of his quotes.

My point being, that we don't live in a vacuum, and we should consider the ramifications of totally ignoring what the global community of nations thinks of our actions. I do agree with you, though, that sometimes we need to do what's right, regardless of what other countries think.

the world has always been ruled by the bigger weapon....from sticks and stones to ICBMs.  

We are territorial beasts who love to fart around with the neighboring tribe.  

Might as well make sure your tribe has the most badass stick on the block.

Cheney is a pretty good debater, but I'd give the nod to Edwards too. It won't be a slaughter, but Edwards will take him..... 3 falls out of 4.

I could care less what the French think about us.

Kerry should have picked someone more suited to debate Cheney.  Someone like Winston Churchill's Parrot:

From your source:

"And while it's true that Kerry  voted to cut intelligence spending in 1994, he did so as part of a much larger deficit-reduction bill at a time of massive federal deficits and growing agreement that military spending could safely be scaled back in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse."

What year was the WTC bombed for the first time?

1993.

The Democratic National Committe and John Kerry actually wanted a candidate who was a southern Catholic fundamentalist pro-anti-abortion lesbian immigrant steel-worker African-American female raised by middle-class whites...but they had to settle for Edwards.
