Tyrannical on 14 April 2009
I think the country of Somalia should be dissolved, and the territory given to Ethiopia and Kenya is they are willing to govern it.
Or perhaps Italy or the UK would be willing to take their colony back.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
