This is a good example of the power of the spoken word to influence other countries to support America......

Sorry, I'm not interested in uniting with most of the world. They're by and large pieces of shit, with tyrants and fanatics running them. The ones that aren't are socialist crap holes filled with America-hating spastics.

You're the best! You make it fun!
 
I am not convinced we need to unite with others. What do they have to offer than we need to united on?

I'm quite fine on my own.

The 9/11 highjackers met in Hamburg, Germany.

So, why would we need any help from the Germans?
 
Makes for a nice slogan, but it is kinda a meaningless thing to say. you can not bring unity simply by calling for it. Our differences through out the world run to deep for that.

You really have no idea how the world works.

When asked what he had learned during his first term in office, George Bush said, "Words have consequences."

Words are the tender of political influence around the world.

Words do have meaning and consequence. But say nice things all you want, if you can't back it up, what is it worth?

Back it up? We have the strongest military in the world. So what? You can't solve the world's problems militarily. We can barely occupy two small countries. We can't solve the world's problems militarily, but we can solve the world's problems with the help of other countries. And how do you influence the people in other countries? With words and action.
 
Please kirk, words alone will not unify the world.

That's why I said words and action.

Political influence is salesmanship. Obama will be the greatest saleman the United States has had since JFK. People around the world already love him. Why? Because he talks about the IDEALS that unite all of humanity for a better good. He is not talking about torture, he is talking about people uniting to establish justice. If you establish justice, terrorism will not survive.

(You do understand salesmen try go get your money?)

Why do we need to solve the worlds problems? They arent children incapable of taking care of themselves. Why dont we focus on solving our own problems. Like the fact that our gas prices are increasing and our dollar is decreasing.

A few things come to mind:

What do you think Justice is?

What the heck do you think we are supposed to be selling?

Ideals are nice, but if they arent based in truth ideals will never translate into reality.

And if you think that the people around the world already love him simply because he gave a bad speech after a rock concert, you are really naive.

What are we selling? That is a good question.

For the last eight years we have been selling bullsh*t.

Time to sell an ideal that the world will believe in.
