My credo: Live and let live.

Maybe the biggest mistake America ever made was invading Iraq. Going to war. On hindsight, America should have steered clear of the Arab world. And left Arabs to decide their own fate. Bloody as that may be.  If Arabs decide they want a blood bath – well, so be it. As long as it’s their own blood. Sure, it was Arabs that organized the 911 attack on America. But that probably would never had happened. If America had long ago kept its nose and interference out of the Middle East. America often acts like an imperial power. Like the boss and policeman of the world. Usually, for economic gain.  The time is long overdue for America to set an example for the rest of the world. My making America a thriving and honorable nation. Within its own borders. America doesn’t have to tell the rest of the world to be like us. Instead, tell the Arabs to find their own way. Suited for Arabs. Maybe that’s the way to get along with each other. Live and let live. –Jim Broede
