It's not enough that we're becoming a nation of knee jerk, reactionary, xenophobes, but now the house of representatives is trying to dig up the bodies of fallen US solders buried in France and bring them home.

Incoherent profanity removed.

Seriously - does no one in charge get the fact that we are *becoming* the thing we have spent the last half century railing against? That eventually the world *will* come together under one banner and with a common purpose.

To get rid of us.

Because, the delusions of our leaders aside, America is not the Roman Empire, and attempts to re-create ourselves in Rome's image are doomed to a messy failure.

Oh, and by the way - France is not the enemy. The worst enemy we have right now is our own selves. We are going to bring ourselves down and accomplish what no other nation, fanatic, or terrorist could do and we are going to do it wrapped up in a flag with a cloak of self righteousness.
