Go Israel

Not disagreeing with you on that at all. Just saying that if 4 million people were dying in a developed part of the world, we'd (as in, the rest of the developed world) probably take notice.

Absolutely. But you can't blame everything on Republicans. What Bill Clinton allowed to happen in Rwanda was unforgivable. Worst thing our government has allowed to happen in a long time.

Hold on, do you see the words Republican or conservative anywhere in my post??? I wasn't talking exclusively about the current administration!

I hold all of us culpable, whatever our political stripes. We have all failed here.

I love your views Irish Trekker. It truly doesnt break down to either party. Its not too late- YET. But eventually, all of our failures will come back to seriously haunt us.

We have to make a decision on how we identify our role in the rest of the world and stay as consistent as possible. I realize, with administrations changing so regularly that is difficult but at the same time we have to have an idea as a people as far as what we want to accomplish.

Maybe isolationism is the best way (i dont think so). Maybe we truly become this "beacon of freedom and liberty" that the spin doctors try to pass us off as we crush liberty in the name of money and self serving interests. Either way, we have to have a direction.
