14. Hmmm...
Personally, I believe that the world would be a better place if the US Government did put more weight on the opinions of its friends, neighbours and enemies, even if it doesn't always agree. If you don't agree with that then it's entirely up to you.

Interesting...no, actually, I don't agree with that at all, but I believe something else entirely which gets us to almost the same place. I'm not interested in America basing it's actions on external opinions. But at the same time I do so wish my government would learn to shut the fuck up and mind it's own business. Endless meddling in the affairs of others is what brought us to the place we are in the world.

I'm terrible with quotes, so somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was Jefferson who said something about "commerce and goodwill toward all, entangling alliances with none". I believe that with all my heart. It is wrong for us be the world's bully. It is also wrong for us to be the world's policeman, savior, banker, healer, or anything but just a sovereign nation protecting it's citizens and not interfering in the the affairs of other sovereign nations.
