Once we're controlling our own boarders and protecting Americans right here in America from criminal invaders (AKA, illegal aliens or whatever politically correct term of the week is), Ill be more inclined to sending our thinly stretched military forces to far flung corners of the Earth on PR missions.
* I agree with the part about protecting our borders. When I went to inquire about a South African visa, I was grilled about my character, and what I had to contribute to SA society. When I was in France, they asked for papers on the train and God help you if you had no passport.
:sigh: My mother was one of the few last immigrants to America that were asked questions like that.
She still has her citizenship book printed by the DAR.
As far as mobs waving US flags
They waved palms for Jesus one day and screamed for his crucifixion the next.
* I would not say that really. Iraqi citizens are still happy we are there (for the most part).
