Superpower doesn't mean international police. The European Union is becoming very strong through fiscal policy, same with China and Japan. At the current rate we will be at the mercy of other countries who dealt with their domestic issues rather than stuck their nose in every little tiff across the globe, especially those involving oil.

Reagan dealt with Russia through diplomacy, not once did we attack them and we came out on top. Diplomacy works and diplomacy saves lives, those that we call our enemy today could easily become an ally. Bush's policy does not save lives, it costs the taxpayers BILLIONS and it tarnishes our position across the globe and you want to continue that???
