A war on terro...The primary enemy is Saudi Arabia. A war on terror that ignores that country is, at best, non porductive. At worst, it is w waste of lives and precious resources.<br /><br />"Because no one can defeat us but ourselves." While I like such sentiments, they are patently false. The most powerful military forces on earth are Russia and China. Either of those powers, especially Russia, would easily defeat America in a direct military confrontation. Furthermore with America's massive national debt and crumbling infrastructure there is no realistic chance of closing the gap that the Russians and the Chinese have over us. <br /><br />With that said the Russians and the Chinese are not invincible. They can be defeated. It will have to be done by guile. At present, we will not be able to overpower them. <br /><br />Also, I should point out that America has been successful due in large part to its Judeo-Christian heritage. In times past, the nation heavily patterned its foregin and deomestic policies based upon the Judeo-Christian principles found in the Old and New Testaments found in the Biblical Scriptures. <br /><br />This has much, if not all, to do with why no one could defeat us but ourselves. Unfoturnately in recent decades we have deviated from these guiding principles. As we continue to drift from these core principles, it is problematic at best to expect God's continued blessings. As a first step to restoring America and defeating our enemies, I'd suggest a return to the Judeo-Christian principles upon which our nation was founded. <br /><br />Other than its support for Israel, its Judeo-Christian heritage, its belief and action in a free market style economy that respects property rights, and limited government there is really nothing so special about America. Unfortunately we've deviated from all of these things in recent years and the deviation from these things has only accelerated unde rthe current leadership at all levels of Government!!<br /><br />I do like that sentiment that only we can defeat ourselves. I only wish it were true. Sorry to be so harsh. Please continue to be an optimist!! Sombedody's got to do it I suppose.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
