Whoa, ok, that is NOT the sort of image we want to portray to the rest of the world. Whether you want to accept it or not, we live in a global world now. It is not just about what WE want to do, it's about what's best for all countries. Let's see, there was another nation once upon a time that just pushed ahead with its own agenda, aggressively attacking other countries, pissing off the rest of the world...who was that...oh yes, Nazi Germany! Even if the similarities are very limited, I don't think there should be ANY similarities in the way the World's best interests are handled. Look, it is just not smart to give the world the finger, stomp out of negotiations, and knock down Iraq's figurative tower of blocks "because we say so."
Also, do not dismiss the history lessons, maybe if we all paid more attention to them there would be less bad and potentially catastrophic decisions made in the future.
