Cato the Youngest discusses why it is so dangerous to attack American. In his post he also has some links to some perceptive opinions about why America has the fiercest warriors on the planet. The following is an except from his post.
Actually, I think Walter Russell Mead has the best take on how America can go from decadent to deadly in about two seconds. Jacksonianism, with its imperative that the American people must be defended at all costs, irrespective of "world opinion", or "international law", or any other damn thing, is something that the totalitarians never get. Attack America, and you trigger a Jacksonian response that is simply not survivable. If you don't believe me, ask Tojo, Yamamoto, or Hitler...Posted by John at December 23, 2003 05:56 PM
NOTE: I've got better things to do than erase the childish, immature, psychotic, obscene comments from looney Roger Weidner and his gang of illiterate morons, so just put your opinions at the Johnhays.net Forum.
