re: Yes -- and no . . .
I can pretty much agree with everything, except that final rant.
And, after all the misery, America is less safe, more people hate us ...
What we now realize is how unsafe we have always been, and just how much of the world always hated us. All that was needed was media focus to show us the true state of the globe.
I won't go into the bringing people back to life bit, simply because it's utterly ridiculous -- so far. We are working on it, though.
