Thanks, Marianne. I must give credit to Abraham Lincoln for that one.

Thanks for your comments. Our foreign policy has such widespread ramifications, it’s too bad citizens of the world have so little input into it–it doesn’t even seem that U.S. citizens have all that much input, though we seem to be held hostage by our knee-jerk “can-do” attitudes that are long on feel-good-in-the-moment pronouncements and short on the consideration of unintended consequences.
