If it's not already too late, the '10 elections just may be our last grasp at, and gasp of, freedom and military supremacy.

Then let's see who responds to all the natural disasters as quickly and completely as the USA does. Answer?--- NOBODY

The only people who will be happy about our demise at that point will be the terrorists; who then will have only nominal resistance to their actions.
