hey, remember me?

i'm still alive, just been through a couple of real busy weeks.

anyway, Krauthammer is at it again. he's after Obama for not running around all over the world posturing against Russia, Iran, Pakistan, and Venezuela. well guess what, buddy. thats what we voted for.

you barely mention the domestic crises that were up against here. i dont think that we need to run around trying to assert our will all over the globe when were reeling from domestic woes. when ive got a cold i dont go out on the street spouting off at the mouth about everything that i dont like. id rather not get punched in the face. and i dont do that anyway.

talk softly and carry a big stick. despite Bush's best efforts, we still have the biggest stick around. Russia, Iran, Venezuela, N Korea all know that if they really provoke us, we will totally fuck them up. at the same time, we dont need to go around picking fights.

i feel like were the big good hearted guy in the school yard who keeps the peace. bullies think twice because were around. but if we go around trying to bully all the bullies, well, we might find ourselves surrounded. we kind of proved in WWII that even the biggest military machine can be brought down if theyre surrounded by a coalition of determined opponents.

were already down, we dont need to encourage our foes to kick us.
