Baloney. Russia invaded a neighbor and took territory. <

The only difference between Russia/Georgia and America/Iraq is that the USA had to travel to Iraq.

Start ANOTHER war right before an election? I can't help but notice that all of your solutions (to almost any problem) would have handed the country to the Democrats.
Those tactics haven't worked since the inception of the internet... it's not the 80's anymore, people don't just blindly accept the news, or even pretend to.

If you mean not being to handle the whiny pussies who oppose wars we win, I'm not allowed to handle them.
Our Founding Fathers knew what to do: round up 150 gun owners, however drunk, declare them a Vigilance Committee, and let them restore Liberty and Order.  That would finish Code Pink and Greenpeace. <

I thought that was your point. 
What was your point? <

That when people start thinking like America (Touch our citizens and we'll [play with your children]), acting like America (It may be your country but that's our pipeline carrying our oil), fighting like America (Massive supressive fire), you can't handle it, can't understand it, and honestly can't see the irony of your complaining. The people on the outside can.

You "allow that shit" because you have to, because to deny it would be denying the American way of doing things, but that does not stop you from trying to pressure other countries into doing what you want, does it? No it does not, and who cares if you make yourself look like hypocritical liars and cowards, as long as nobody notices, as long as nobody thinks...
...oh wait, we did, and now we don't have a "special relationship" any more!

When you intimidate the world don't be surprised if it grows up to bully you back.
