But why is that our job, the missiles are (ostensibly) targeted at Israel, no?

"But why is that our job...?"

I remember reading once that during the height of the Roman Empire, it was possible for a Roman Citizen to walk un-molested from one end of the Empire to the other.

I suspect that that was an exageration but the claim does illustrate the fear with which the Legions of the Roman Empire were contemplated. All of the talk we've encountered in recent months about how the United States has "lost respect and admiration" of the rest of the world?

I don't care if the rest of the world respects and admires the United States as long as they have a good, healthy dose of fear about what the United States will do them if they do anything to us! That's the root of the problem we've experienced with the ruthless Islamic Jihadists for the last 30 years; they do not like us or respect us and they sure as 'heck' don't fear us.
