Go Ahead, Look that Gift Horse in the Mouth

Iran thinks the "American Empire" is nearing a collapse:

"Iran's president [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] accused 'a few bullying powers' of trying to thwart his country's peaceful nuclear program and declared in a speech Tuesday before the U.N. General Assembly that 'the American empire' is nearing collapse."

I can't necessarily say I don't think that's a possibility.

Furthermore, Ahmadinejad thinks our politicians start wars to win votes:

"[He] sharply attacked the United States and NATO, accusing them of acting as aggressors in Iraq and Afghanistan, and of starting those wars 'in order to win votes in elections.'"

I can't necessarily say I don't think that's a possibility.

But, what gets me is that he thinks we should limit ourselves to our own borders:

"'American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road, and its next rulers must limit their interference to their own borders,' Ahmadinejad said. "

I can't necessarily say I don't think that's a possibility.

But, I also can't say I don't think it's a great idea. Because I do. If these assholes don't want our help, why are we giving it to them?! Let's keep our money over here, in America. Let's help our own people. Let Iran worry about themselves, if that's what they want.
