The Missile Defense Decision – Chase's Final Response

For your information, Ms. Valentine, I am quite knowledgeable in Russian History; as well as European History, Middle Eastern and American. However, my reasoning behind becoming knowledgeable is for much different reasons than the deceptive Barack Hussein Obama.
Do you really believe that the United States was created "on the backs of the citizens of the states of Europe"? I haven't had that good of a laugh since... well, yesterday (I was reading articles to post on one of my other blogs). The U.S. was created because they desired "Independence" from Great Britain and Europe (mostly French and Spanish rule).

I will pass on the crème brulée, but breakfast in The City of Lights would be nice to do again. I have been there several times, but much prefer the nicer folks in places like Carcassonne and Toulouse - they are much less arrogant to Americans there.

As for the U.S. "partnering" with Stalin; it has always been U.S. policy (based on common sense) to support "The lesser of two evils". It is not our fault that there are just so many damn evil dictators in this world. But we always keep the safety, security and well-being of U.S. citizens as priority #1. Sometimes this means having to lay in bed with a few bad guys now and then. Another good example of this would be backing Batista in Cuba over Fidel Castro (however, Congress eventually sided with Castro - and you see where that has gotten us). The Sandinistas and Contras ring a bell too? Iran and Irag? Russia ad Afghanistan? Blah, Blah, Blah...

The Russians must not have believed their cause and right to be in Georgia too much. They sure scurried back across the border when the rest of the world said, "No, no, no!"

It is always a tragedy when nations turn on the U.S. after we help them with millions and sometimes billions of dollars of aid. Reminds me of the old saying, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you".

But they never appreciate the Billions in aid we send to all of them. The first opportunity they get they turn like rabid dogs against the very hands that saved them in their time(s) of need. But they were all standing there with open arms for the gracious handouts when they had no one else to come to their aid. But "America is the bad guy" as usual.

Of course you will argue that we only do it to get something in return; but isn't that why anyone does anything for people. Even if all they get in return is a warm fuzzy feeling inside?

When it all boils down, it's all about self-preservation. Protecting ourselves at whatever cost. The same way it has been for 10,000 years in the past and will be for 10,000 more.
