What we support and defend

[Bob's World]

Carl, (yawn)

Really? That's all the game you've got?

Perhaps you remember the 150 million. Americans who didn't want or vote for the past several American Presidents? Majority rules, even in countries where there is no vote or where elections are very shady, as in the ones that elevated Diem and Karzai into office. And what % of Americans do you suppose wanted war and independence from England? Revolutionary victory is often the most pure and legitimate of vote.

As to President Lincoln being "illegitimate rhetoric," I'll just let you live with that position. Besides, his statements are it even more true today than it was then.

As to the South China Sea, it seems everyone is over reaching their 12 mile limits on that issue. This is an issue that needs to be resolved, but is pretty mild compared to the claim we levied onto the northern half of Mexico, don't you think?
