Imagine:

One morning, you kiss your family goodbye, and walk out the door. Your neighbor, Bill, approaches you and tells you that he saw another neighbor, Frank, (who people call "the wife beater") sitting on his porch, with an assault weapon in his lap. Even though you didn't see any weapon, you walk up to Frank and tell him that he must get rid of his weapon or you will throw him out of his house and/or kill him. He tells you that he doesn't have a gun. You then report Frank to the police. The police come and try to find the assault weapon, but there is no sign of it. But you are sure that Frank is a madman and must have the weapon in his house. You go door to door through your neighborhood and try to convince others to join you in confronting Frank. You tell them that Frank's family is suffering due to Frank's behavior, and the neighborhood as a whole should help them. Some neighbors agree to support you, others don't. You take the neighbors who are willing and storm Frank's house, throw rocks through his windows, kick down his doors. His family fights you. So, you have to defend yourselves by hurting them. You look and look for Frank, to turn him over to the police. Finally, you find him, and he is held in jail. Now, you collect money from your family, and start to rebuild Frank's house, with Frank's family throwing stones at you the whole time.

This is what W did, on a global scale. IMO this behavior is unacceptable in a civilized society.

The US in the greatest country in the world - not perfect, but the best there is. It's up to us to be the world leader. Our present administration does not lead other countries, they push them around.
