America cannot be America if indifferent to the sufferings, much less the genocide, of people overseas.

America’s foreign policy must extoll the majesty of our timeless democratic principles originating in the Declaration of Independence.

The struggle for that free and decent world never ends this side of the parousia.

And human nature is such that great generosity often fuels greed, especially when unchecked by viable law and social expectations.

The surprise attack 80 years ago, although killing over 2000 and sinking much of the fleet, only shocked the dynamo into still greater energy. 

Illegal economic migrants should be returned home, Biggar said, otherwise additional waves will be encouraged to migrate, nullifying national borders.

We don’t yet know Iraq’s future, but Powell as a Christian would agree that there’s always hope.

Maybe Afghanistan’s collapse is a divine judgment on it and us.  But there is mercy always available, accompanied by wisdom.

Presumably the consequences in Afghanistan will be tragic as in Indochina.

America is not and will never be like Hungary, or Sweden, or any other country. We have our own history, traditions, unique experiences and national creeds.
