Kinuachdrach: I agree that it is not crazy to see a Julius Caesar response to Obama’s actions. The Republic made by George Washington, Ben Franklin and etc has lasted for 200 years. No one has decreed that it SHOULD last any longer, and it won’t, unless the American voter becomes truly interested in local elections. Which is a very faint hope, I think. ACORN, now. ACORN is VERY interested and active in local elections.

My mother, born in 1912, told me once that during most of her life, the British Empire and the pound sterling was The Power. And then, it just vanished. And so it could be for the Pax Americana. Obama and the people who vote for his way, think that will be a good thing, because they have never lived without running water. But, I guess we may all learn about that, again.

As to the Suez crisis, that didn’t go well for anyone in the western world, except it put the final blow to the British Empire which was not unwelcome in Washington DC at the time.
