i had read it before, and my memory was jogged due to people talking about what the world wants, and that we should base what we do on world views. i disagree with that. we can barely come to a consensus on things as a country, if we start worrying what various and sundry nations think, we're really in trouble.
i am not saying that it's our way or no way, but i think we need to re-evaluate our seeming desire to be involved so much in other nations. we need to return to our roots so to speak.

i think a bit of a retreat from tinkering in other nations might make some even miss us a bit! you don't know what you've got til it's gone and all that.

amazing tho, as you read it, how many topics he touched on way back then, and how his points are still valid now-altho of course we have far more than europe to deal with.
