interests without consideration of anyone else, yes, that is frightening. We
have words for people who think only about their own interests and have much
more power than others. "Sociopaths". "Brutal dictators". "Saddam Hussein".
As an old friend of mine used to say, "Lord love a duck." George Bush
through his staff and cabinet officers have been talking to everyone on the
face of the globe. Even while in the middle of this threat they have had
time to notice what is going on in Africa with the Aids epidemic, to chart a
course and report to our country that we should participate in the response
to that epidimic in a big way.
So how can you respond in the fashion you just have? If you didn't
intend that comment to apply to the US you sure haven't indicated so. If you
did intend for your comment to apply to the US you certainly haven't
justified your position given what we see happening in the real world. Uncle
Sugar is still right out there listening to people, helping when he can and
full of good will at all times.
