need to use great caution with many of our neighbors in the world, in particular the Islamic nations, if they are to provide safety for our country and Western culture.
Tommy's post should have read "blah, blah, blah, blah, . . . the Arabs are such scary barbarians and Western culture is so powerful and superior that we must necessarily wet ourselves in fear at the mere thought of existing in a world with very scary and wily barbarians."
The only two nations on the planet who have definitively shown that they can't be trusted are America and Israel. I sure haven't noticed Iran "preemptively" invading another sovereign nation in, like, well, centuries. Gunboat diplomacy American style. Isn't America super stupendous and wonderful with all its smily faced freedom, liberty, rule of law mythology trumpeted endlessly right up until the time they start raining bombs on some hapless nation that has the temerity to not immediately prostrate itself in homage to our stupifying greatness.
