Reply #29: That's what I said.

"appeasement!!!! Retreat????WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???"
It should be obvious. If not you should look the words up in an online dictionary.

"Are you suggesting that it's appeasement if instead of outright theft of 25% of the worlds resources for 4% of the population we examine how we treat the rest of the world and alter our actions?"
I wasn't aware that we were stealing anything. I know I'm paying for my gas every week and my heat and electricity every month. I'm pretty sure nobody is stealing anything. What's more, I'm sure I wasn't suggesting that.

"U.S. foreign policy should be thourougly examined and the U.S. should learn to HELP the rest of the world's population instead of rob them."
Again with the robbery accusations. We aren't robbing anybody of anything. We all spend our hard earned federal reserve notes on those resources. Furthermore, we do help plenty of people even though we are over 8 trillion dollars in debt. With that in mind, I think maybe we need to focus more on domestic policy than foreign policy.

"If that's "appeasement", I vote for appeasement. If that's retreat, I'm all for it!!!'
Of course you are. I would expect no less from a proud dad.

"Appeasement" and retreat are a bullshit right-wing talking points. They're MEANINGLESS in this context..."
I'm sure Neville Chamberlain and his followers said similar things in 1939.
