#1 It is interesting that the US is the "odd man out", and that some people think this means that we're on the wrong side of issues. Churchill and Reagan were odd men out too.

#4 Mr Bush is a polite, modest fellow. He speaks softly because he carries the world’s biggest stick.

Teddy Roosevelt getting quoted there. One of my favorite Presidents too.

#6 In tribute to Mark Steyn, I have to comment that this article is 2 years old. That said, it'll still be good 10 years from now..

#7 ON THURSDAY, to celebrate America’s Independence Day, I celebrated America’s independence – not just from George III but from the rest of what passes for the civilised world.

Great first line! George III ran the show at the time, but now is relegated to the bleachers of history. The USA has made many mistakes in her history and almost destroyed herself in a Civil War, but she has picked up herself, learned and moved to greater heights. Only a relatively few countries in this world do this. We are all human beings, with our strengths and foibles, but what a country these human beings have made! Let's keep her alive and well for the next centuries.

"Happy Fothajulai!"
