When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

If the United States wishes to act like the world's policeman, it should take as its motto "Protect and Serve" like so many actual police forces around the country.
Actual police departments do not bomb the whole block or the whole city where a suspected (or known) criminal is hanging out!
Professional police departments treat the general public with consideration.
Just a few of the many with the motto Protect and Serve:
Grant (Sacramento CA) PD.
Community Policing on Indian Reservations (article)
Millington (TN) PD
Austin TX PD
St. Charles Parish LA
Greeley CO Police
