Sometime nearing the end of the Clinton Administration, there were editorials from every media flying around trying to answer the question, "Is the United States to be forced into becoming, along with our allies, a policing entity for the world."

Obviously, here n' now, in hindsight, the answer should have been a resounding yes!

We can argue our pros and cons all we want, doing that will never change the recent course of events. So I'm not here to argue anything but only to ask the simple question, "Where do we go from here?"

Do we, like barbarians, kill helpless people during the invasion of their countries and consider them collateral casualties of war? I hope not.

Do we do the humanitarian thing, insist on the evacuation of their countries, do everything to help them in their displacements, as we have done before, and then obliterate the known radicals who have terrorized us as well as their own peoples. I hope so.

Do we stop there or do we go on to kill the cancer of terrorism and cut it out from our civilization forever, never to let it raise it's ugly head again?

I, for one, emphatically say, go on and on, make it our mandate, our mantra for our country to live by. Does that, here n' now and into our future, make us, along with our allies, a policing entity of the world?

Well, I guess it does!
