The Pendragon's Hall

John Kerry is out in Ohio, again trying to impress people with his conservative values, telling crowds today that NATO will shoulder the burden of protecting the world, and their tax dollars will not fund "the lion's share" of the work under him. He claims it is not fair for the US to be paying and doing all the work of liberating and defending the world. Well, no kidding, Sherlock. Real Americans have been saying that for years. The thing is, NATO only wants to be consulted on when another member goes to war. Once they've given their consent, the US gets to pay for and run the risks in any operation since the end of the Second World War. John Kerry's "firm belief" that we must consult with allies (thereby proving he doesn't even know the meaning of the word "allies"--look it up in a dictionary and tell me how that means "people who hate your country"--aka France and Germany) will only bring us further into debt. France is not willing to shoulder the burden of warfare. France would rather surrender. And Germany is only willing to take on wars where they are the agressor against tiny, helpless nations. And the Arab world is full of terrorists anyway. Tell me, how are these nations going to suddenly decide they want to help the US rid the world of people like them? I like the Bush doctrine better--If the US is going to pay for the wars, the US had better benefit.
