I'd like to address the court of world opinion.
(FunkedUp: What the ***** are you doing?)
(Wulfie: Don't worry, I'm into international relations and diplomacy.)
(FunkedUp: I thought you were into intel, and stab 'em in the back, and KPaBTS?)
(Wulfie: Same thing.)
Gentlemen,
The question here is not whether or not we overthrew a few governments that the commies propped up or took out a few dictators that we used to play poker with until they turned into total scumbags as opposed to partial scumbags - we did.
(winks and smiles at the assembled Moral Pillars that are the leadership of several Nations that wrote the book on 'How to screw people over and act like you don't give a ***** because you really don't' a few hundred years before the U.S.A. ever existed)
But if you would hold the image and reputation of the entity known as America responsible for the gutsy, I-don't-give-a-damn I-know-it's-the-right-thing-to-do actions of the current leadership of America - as if they were somehow wrong, or dishonorable - *especially when they worked out okay*, then would this not be an indictment of the rules and morals laid down by the previous generations of American leadership (WW I, WW II, Korea, 1980 Olympic Hockey, Playboy Magazine, Twinkies, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum)?
And if you would hold the previous leadership responsible, would you not then hold our Founding Fathers and the first citizens of the 13 Colonies responsible as well?
And if you would hold them responsible, then, well, look at where they come from. England. Europe. That small Colony in the very Northeast of France where all the people with absolutely no fashion sense were forced to live.
Well, you can blame the Founding Fathers and the members of the 13 Colonies for starting this whole sordid, evil, power-run-amok mess (you may have a point - we've actually qualified for the World Cup now - the end is approaching - England is going to kill itself en masse the day that P. Diddy does a rap show wearing an Arsenal Soccer jersey because it's 'cool'), but I, for one, am not going to sit here and let you badmouth the people of...
Europe!
Gentlemen!
