i believe you will discover that we have lost all interest in making
the world safe and instead now shall make the u.s. safe, and if that
means draconian measures elsewhere, tough. if you look at our
national debt, you'll find that it in considerable measure comprises
money that we have given other countries in little trifles like the
marshall plan to rebuild europe at the end of world war II, in war
debt owed us by european countries that shall never repay it and
shall never be asked to repay it, in monies that we have given
developing countries around the world -- we don't believe it's a
zero-sum game, instead that every nation and all peoples can prosper
-- and we're repaid with sniping, hatred, and, now, not only the
events of last tuesday but a substantial number of presumably well
meaning but startlingly naive people proposing that we some how
deserved it all.
you will see our attitude changing. you will discover that you liked
our old attitude better.

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the
People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
