wha?

"they have been after us for decades" ? Who is they? I don't see anybody coming after us. I see the U.S. as possessing the strongest military in the world, as a thuggish invader of foreign lands, and a cultural and commercial hegemony.

"There is actually a time to let the schoolyard bully have some of your lunch money. That time has come." What the hell does this mean? Allow the bullies to be bullies? I can only submit that this is only strategic when the bullies need to realize their behaviour for themselves. Otherwise, I don't think this is healthy. Stop being afraid.
