Leaders in Europe seem pleased with President Obama's speech; but not so pleased that they jump at the chance to help. (Perhaps their reserve in such matters explains why they can afford things like socialized medicine [well, mostly afford], whereas the
US teeters on the edge of
bankruptcy even without.)

Michael Moore is upset. I have little sympathy. Moore's hurt is that experienced by any fool who looks only to politics and politicians for answers to the world's problems.
No friend of war am I. If I had my way, the US wouldn't be involved in so many conflicts. But neither am I a pacifist (a morally suspect position if ever there was one). Sometimes a stand must be taken; it is indeed the right thing to do. Those who do so with honor and courage are worthy of our highest esteem. Let us not overlook, then, the
warrior women who have fought and continue to fight courageously:
