83. unless we can fix everything that's wrong with the world
No, that's a wild-eyed intrepretation not based on logic. The point is not to "fix" all that is wrong with the world, nor is it the virtue of isolationism. Our problem is that we create many problems by attempting to "fix" other countries, yet our "fixes" aren't about the country we're "fixing", it's about the U.S. More accurately, it's about U.S. economic interests.

We do have a responsibility to clean up after ourselves. We have a responsibility to act as law-abiding INTERNATIONAL citizens, because that is what we are. When we defied the U.N., we became a rogue nation.

While we diddle in Iraq, American terrorists continue to operate within our borders...
