These Days, America Steps Up to Vanquish the Monsters

    "America . . . goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all." -- John Quincy Adams

   These days, that is no longer true. America does go abroad. It does take out the Saddam Husseins and Osama bin Ladens. It does come to the defense of other countries. No longer is America just a well-wisher to the freedom of others. Rather, it now seeks to destroy the monsters of the world.  In Ukraine, it provides weapons that are allowing it to turn back the monster known as Russia.

   And this is as it should be. When you see a person in the streets being attacked, if you can step in and help, you do so. It is the same. When America sees a nation being attacked, it should, indeed, step in and help.
