Foreign Policy Thoughts

Two of the six aircraft carriers in Norfolk VA harbor

Three thoughts about US foreign policy

Remember all of this fuss about the North Koreans getting the bomb and a missile to deliver it is brought to you by the same people who convinced us that Saddam Hussein had “Weapons of Mass Destruction.” It is very likely that they are just beating the drums of war.

“I would like to call upon America to be more careful with its trust. Prevent those pundits who are attempting to establish fine degrees of justice and even finer legal shades of equality (some because of their distorted outlook, others because of shortsightedness, still others out of self-interest), from using the struggle for peace and social justice to lead you down a false road.

“To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.”
George Washington
There are about 19 aircraft carriers in service around the world today. Of which 11 are from the US Navy. No other country has more than two. How prepared do we have to be? Six of the US Navy carriers are in harbor at Norfolk VA. See picture above.
