1. Our economic chaos & military overextension emboldens our enemies.

Kim Jong Il, or whoever is minding the store in North Korea right now, knows that the U.S. is in no position to threaten retaliation against anybody with its military badly overextended and its economy in chaos. Our weakness - due to our government's policy choices - is what emboldens our enemies.
