Whooooosh!!! All of a sudden, i can understand US foreign policy again! Incredible!! Close Guantanamo, yes i'm getting that. Appoint peace makers to the middle east, yes that seems like a good idea...

How did the Bush years go bye with such a complete absence of this sort of simple, humane thinking? Answers on a post card...

Our new goal as a country is to make as many friends as possible now. Which will be fun. I hope to get Cuban cigars legally again.

I hope all these new Friends don't ask to borrow my tools. It's also bad manners for new friends to ask for money, or a loan they can't pay back. That reminds me , where the hell is my compound miter saw. Oh well, i guess someone needed it more than i. I'll just get a third job.

If the friendship is in jeopardy, then the US should bend over to make them happy. Or is that bend over backwards?.... whatever.

Hindsight is always 20-20. Bush was a poor President, and many American's made poor decisions by voting for him. Mistakes happen, time to learn from these mistakes and move on...😏

So, i guess stealing my miter saw wasn't good enough? Well, other then that, i'd be willing to bend over and allow them to beg to kiss my ass. I'm just saying, don't rob me blind and expect me to be my friend. And, ah, no Military alliances either. We need the money for our own healthcare, and my daughter's life (she's in the military) comes before any other friend's life.

I have a question. I heard Obama say that closing down Guantanamo will make us all "safer". How so? Unless, of course, he means those who are held captive or could be candidates for being held captive at Guantanamo will be "safer".

Closing down Guantanamo will make all the world love the US... then there will be no need for violence.

Yeah, it seems remarkable given what we've had to endure. To actually bring charges to suspects, to not suspend writ of habeus corpus, to actually get a trial, to not torture, to not go before a military tribunal where they would be guilty until proven innocent...if they ever got out of Gitmo....

An astonishing number of prisoners seem to have not warranted charges. I hope they all file suit against George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld for equally astonishing amounts of monetary damages.
