Changing Our Behavior

AMID OUR NATIONAL polarized civil war, may we never descend to such a petty level, if we haven't already, that we refuse to ever give credit to anyone who, though irrevocably ideologically opposed to us, does something of which we would strongly approve were it only done by someone with whom we agree. That's human nature; always disagree with those you don't like, and always agree with those you like, no matter what the content of their comments. It does not damage or destroy us if we sometimes give credit to our enemies for a deed or word well done. Give credit to President Trump for declaring that the United State is through with nation building, through trying to impose democracy upon people who may not want it, through trying to rebuild other countries in the image of America, with the foolish assumption that all other nations want to be exactly like us, if only they could. Three cheers for President Trump. Its about time. Does this mean that the United States will no longer engage in "regime change", in overthrowing foreign governments and replacing them with handpicked governments that the U.S. can control like a puppet? if so, whatever will we do with all our free time? whatever will the CIA do to keep it busy, off the streets, out of trouble? wasn't it the same President Trump who less than a month ago suggested that American military intervention in Venezuela might be "necessary", to preserve democracy in that economically and politically torn but sovereign nation? In 1954, the U.S. overthrew the government of Guatemala. In 1973 the United States overthrew the government of Chile. The list goes on and on? Is it now going to stop lengthening? it would be far easier to believe what president Trump says if only he wouldn't lie nearly every time hes speaks. Or if he wouldn't articulate a different policy every time his lips move. American restraint in attempting to influence the internal affairs of other nations would be a drastic departure from a two hundred year old pattern of behavior. It hard to believe it will actually happen. bu tat least Trump said it was going to happen. The Lord willing, he isn't lying this time.
