"I wonder what would have happened if we had someone other than the BlueBlood Ford in the White House who decided to level Hanoi."

Gerald Ford is a blueblood? Good golly, what does that make the Bush family?

Pretty much the same thing (LOL)...you guys need to check what the "Blue Bloods" thought of Reagan...My father is a pure blue blood. To him the government is designed to 'take care" of the unfortunates so they can be controlled. THe Bush/Ford/Nixon/Dole crowd hated Reagan. They protrayed him as a blithering fool because they saw their precious government money pool being dried up by the potential for a reduction in government.

You know, XL is right.

The liberals have taken over. Just look at the background of Irving Kristol - godfather of Bush Republicanism.

And Bush has never been anything other than a blue blood Republican. His verbal tics and religious fervor are all just focus-group tested additions.

So, I don't blame XL for being frustrated.

XL is a lot of things but a visor wearer isn't one of them which makes him good people.

...But there is another major reason for anti-Americanism: the accreted residue of many years of U.S. foreign policies. These policies are unknown to most Americans. They form only minor footnotes in U.S. history. But they are the chapter titles of the histories of other countries, where they have had enormous consequences. America's strength has made it a sort of Gulliver in world affairs: By wiggling its toes it can, often inadvertently, break the arm of a Lilliputian...

...The challenge that the United States faces today boils down to a choice. It can insist on its primacy as a superpower, or it can accept the universality of its values. If it chooses the former, it will heighten the resentment of foreigners and increase the likelihood of visiting disaster upon distant populations -- and vice versa. If it chooses the latter, it will discover something it appears to have forgotten: that the world is full of potential allies...
