Hillary Clinton Tells Gadhafi We're Not Impressed With HIS Words?

"We're not impressed with words"? Good call Secretary of State Clinton. That'll surely impress Gadhafi. ALL we've given Gadhafi so far is WORDS! The real question therefore is how impressed is he with HER words? Obvious answer: Not Much! In fact, I can almost hear him saying, in reply to Clinton's comment, "Back at you sister ... times two"!

Our foreign policy is becoming a toothless joke around the world. The world is becoming a MORE dangerous place as a result because the only effect this has on despots is to make them feel more comfortable doing the evil that they do; in fact, doing even more of it, not less. Telling despots to play nice accomplishes only one thing: emboldens them to behave more badly, not less. It IS exactly like what happens on the playground with bullies. The ONLY thing they really understand is a good punch in the nose now and then.
