no doubt we'd be just as understanding if...oh, let's say mexico suddenly started crossing the border at will, and blowing up portions of texas. no doubt it would be just effing peachy. why, we'd just go oh..those darn mexicans. no doubt they would ask us for help, but i'm sure they can handle it on their own.
if we don't respect other countries borders, and maybe ask for permission before engaging in what pretty much is an act of war, how can we expect anyone else to do the same?
georgia and russia-remember that little episode?


we used to be the country who spoke softly, yet carried a big stick. now we just carry the stick and beat folks over the head with it. and then act surprised when it doesn't go over well.

Obviously you wanted a chance to rant, so now you've done so! Syria is playin both sides of the game. They can't expect special favor from the US if they're duplicitus in protecting this countrys' interests. Maybe we can sit down with them and negotiate them not stabbing us in the back...Nobama will be right there.
