He captured So-damn Insane.

you know what? My middle school friends and I called him that when we were kids, during the first gulf war. How about what he's done for the US people. How about his contribution to us? How about something he's done that didn;t involve his daddy and friends?

At home he hasn't done much, but he's kickin' ass abroad.

He's not though.
Iraq is a complete mess. Afghanistan is still insecure after 4 years. The members of his coalition are deserting him. The popularity of Americans abroad is at an all-time low, etc, etc, etc.
I could list more, but I think I'll stop.

Iraq and Afghanistan were even bigger shit-holes before, and when have Americans ever been popular?
The world loves our movies and music, but they hate us--go figure.

Actually, the world had an unprecedented amount of empathy for the US after 9/11. Bush destroyed all of this with his war-mongering and disregard for international law.
I know its a pity that people don't like no-nonsense indivuals who won't let protocol bullshit impede their goals.
"I will not allow any legal nicities to impede prompt and speedy executions".
^ Gen. MacArthur in reference to the Japanese officers on-trial for war crimes.
That same man who was arguably the greatest general in US history was fired for suggesting that we use nuclear force in Korea.

Protocol ....AND LAW!...exist for a reason. Unlike yourself, others have observed the world and drawn conclusions in regard to the actions of unchecked individuals in power. This is one of the most irresponsible claims I've ever heard you make. Or, should I just sympathize because you don't know what "protocol" means? You confuse "protocol" with "consideration of the enemy". But that's utter horse shit! Protocol is the interaction of humans. An understanding of differences. And if you think that short term actions like weapons or absurd displays of superiority are the answer, you aren't paying attention to history. And, you're more the cause of the problem than you are the solution.
