why can't we be like John Wayne and walk into town and talk first before we shoot?" Fowler said. Did Fowler ever actually SEE a John Wayne movie?
To: visitor
"If we're the superpower, if we have all the cards - why can't we be like John Wayne and walk into town and talk first before we shoot?" Because life isn't a movie, jackass. It's real and there are real consequences, and the Diplomacy angle fails more often than succeeds.

"If we're the superpower, if we have all the cards - why can't we be like John Wayne and walk into town and talk first before we shoot?" Fowler said.That's why I always preferred Clint Eastwood. He didn't say much, he just rode into town and started killing people.

Is this why all the 'cool' people are Democrats? (ie: Hollywood types) Because I could really give a rat's butt what the rest of the world thinks of us and for some odd reason all Democrats do. Maybe it is left over from High School and they haven't grown up. Well, then again... I could have cared less then what people thought of me.

Yeah we should waste time of the same collection of rabidly ignorant fools who created this whole mess with Islamic Fundementalism in the 1970s by selling out the Shah of Iran

In 2003, he shared with the club his perspective on U.S.-Saudi relations and his personal connection to Sept. 11. 2001. His only daughter worked at the World Trade Center and was one of the few who walked away after the attacks. Huh?
Why is he a former Senator?

The key to patch up the past 15 years of a deteriorating public image, Fowler said, is to talk.... Fowler's speech gave Rotarians some food for thought.Sounds like pretty thin gruel.

Wayne was frequently the only guy who would stand up to the bad guys in his movies. We could do a lot worse.

Because we liked Paul Coverdell better.

Chon Wang? LOL! I love Jackie Chan movies.
To: visitor
"served as U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1987 to 1992" Actually the idiot was a Senator in that period. The loser was defeated by Paul Coverdell.
Clinton later appointed the idiot loser as ambassador.
Is this a real paper?

I was all for 'imposing' democracy on Iraq, then the rest of the Middle East, too. That was before I realized Islamic hatred in not only a bane to western civilization but to democracy itself. Since people aren't reasoned into their religious beliefs, they can't be reasoned out of them, even at gunpoint. Islam will be Islam. They can have it.
We'll end up pulling out of an Iraq that will sink into civil war and re-emerge a theocracy. It may take a Democratic president. The shame now is how many more Americans will die before we declare victory and come home.

To: visitor
...walk into town and talk first before we shootEven John Wayne wouldn't have "talked" for 12 years before shooting, like we did with Saddam.
