According to a recent Pew Global Attitudes poll, nearly two-thirds of the Turkish public believes that the United States of America is the biggest threat to the future of their country. And yet, our government can not grasp why anyone would hate this country -- besides the popular notion, "they hate us because of our freedom."
As the situation in Iraq worsens and rumors of war with Iran continue, we can only expect to see the hatred of the United States to deepen.
And yet, the politicians in Washington continue their quest for world domination -- trying to spread democracy by the sword, something that is totally contrary to the ideals of freedom.
Every day, we become less safe than the day before. How can we expect their to be no blowback from a failed foreign policy? We are expected to continue the mistake as was mentioned by, all but one, Republican candidates in the FOX News debate last Wednesday. Continuing this mistake makes no sense. It is time for a change in our foreign policy.

September 10, 2007 at 6:34 PMThe people in charge of this country need to get over their typical American stubbornness and admit that our leaders have made mistakes in the past and still continue to do so. We can not solve problems by continuing to use the same bad ideas and failed attempts at solutions.
