Who says the US is always right?

I don't. Even Tom doesn't. While I disagree with a lot of his complaints he's fussing about over regulation and taxation all the time. Being always right is not the point. Exagerrating our failures is. You don't correct errors by over emphasizing them. That results in over reaction which often has unintended consequences. We screwed up. We should admit it, prosecute those responsible, and inact reforms to prevent a repeat. We should not bow down to France, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UN, or China as moral authorities.

Regards,
Mark

        Dissent is not treason. Protest is not treason. Political speech is protected. - Mary Anne - 5/7/2004 9:43:26 PM

        Your reply is, as usual, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." (n/t) - Mary Anne - 5/8/2004 3:32:33 PM

- For the love of BUSH, get a blog. You can annotate, illustrate, revise and append in pretty colors. Print it oup and tape to the fridge for the wife and kids to praise. (n/t) - et - 5/7/2004 1:39:16 AM
  - If you don't want to read my stuff, don't. You probably wouldn't be the only one. It's not like you're paying for this. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 5/7/2004 1:52:37 AM
