m137 pay - Those are good things. I agree. But, they need to be done by praying people. THEN those things will work, because we will have Gods blessing.

Functioning intelligence services that share information. A rational geo-political strategy that recognizes how different cultures interact with one another and minimizes the apparent effects of US hegemony. Empathy. And back it all up with a big stick, as Teddy Roosevelt would say.
