We don't need to act tough anymore. The age of imperialism is long but over. The country should worry about what goes on inside our borders and forget about what the kooks in desert lands on the other side of the globe think of us. There is a select culture that will always hate us for being America and there's absolutely no chance that will ever change.

You're putting words in my mouth that I never said. We can be tough and still have a heart. And, I'm not as afraid about "kooks in other lands" as I've become of the "kooks in D.C.", and not all of them are Democrats.
