My basic bottom line is I do not, under any circumstances ever, want “the world” telling America what to do. That includes the world bank, the United Nations, and whatever international courts are out there milling around waiting for their defendents to die of old age.

Bush is meeting with 7 Treasury people from around the world today. I’m going to be really really really annoyed when he comes out of that meeting burbling about giving Russia a couple of trillion dollars to bail them out so they won’t be so desperate and angry any more.

We just cannot afford to be both the money-creater to the world and the policeman to the world both. Again, I think we need to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan post-haste, and nuke Iran and Pakistan before we go since that’s the easiest and cheapest way of dealing with those two trouble-making countries.
