If the US attacks its advesaries left and right without a UN Security Council vote, over time resentment will build and in five or ten years the world will look at the US as a pariah. If the US has no allies in the future, then it will become weak as coalitions are built to reduce America's power.

well america will also become weak if iraqi made nuclear weapons in the hands of radical muslims blow up major cities throughout the country i will take my chances being a pariah

The world sees us as a pariah now. That it will be so in the future is a given.

We are the envy of the world and most, if not all would like to see us fall......if not be completely destroyed. This includes our "allies" in Europe.

Nothing we do in support of our economic and security interests will alter this fact.

I believe our best course is to get about looking after those interest in the full knowledge we are now, and will be in the future, going it alone.

To preempt the ability of our rivals to destroy us is the most critical and important activity this nation could undertake. To wait is suicide.
