WOW … all we need now is for Lou Dobbs to become president, and Sarah Palin VP, OR the other way around Sarah P, President and Lou Dobbs, VP and this country will be highly screwed or out in some la-la-land planet.

@Sage, “I’ve seen a lot of macho actions and talk covering up cowards and I think that is particularly sad.”

In dogs its called “fear aggression”.

As for the rest – I don’t get it either.

I’m glad you liked it. I thought it was a great interview. I, too, don’t think we are a fragile nation, but I think there has been attempt to turn us into fearful people. I’ve seen a lot of macho actions and talk covering up cowards and I think that is particularly sad. I guess a good example is all the hoopla about bringing Gitmo prisoners to the U.S. for prosecution. Are we really fearful that they will somehow be a big threat? Really? We have people like Charles Manson that make the Gitmo prisoners look like bumbling school boys and somehow we have managed to keep Manson contained. I truly don’t get it.

Thank you for posting that interview. It ties in with something I heard on the radio today on another issue. The core of both is whether we are, as Dobbs claims, a fragile nation and thus fearful, or a strong resilient nation capable of stepping out boldly.

The guy on the radio agreed with Dobbs, but did not agree that we should be guided by our fragility.
