Fences

Filed under: International — Bunker @ 1:28 pm

MSNBC believes strongly in mending fences. Just today they had a report on President Bush meeting with Vincente Fox to do just that.

Of course, the obvious implication is that our President broke the fence, so he must repair it. Is there nobody else ever responsible? Is everyone else in the world right?

Not in an election year. Any leader in any other country can say anything outrageous, or do anything contrary to the best interests of this country, and our President will be held responsible. He is the one who much “reach out.”

The one basic truth is that America does not need to reach out. And everyone in the world knows this. And everyone in the world is envious. We reach out because we want to, not because we have to. And we are the only country that does.
