We can’t be policing the whole world.
How many times have you heard that?
It’s a false statement and I suspect even those who employ it, know it.
It’s not about policing, it’s about leading and the two are far different things. Now, perhaps more than ever before, the world needs a leader.

We defeated them again.
Some thought that the war between the states would be our end. It wasn’t. In fact, it made us stronger.

Regarding the attack in Libya a week ago today, here is what we know.
As Hillary Clinton once put it…
