Our magnificent nation was not founded upon foot-dragging, apathy, the whims of cowards, or even this thing called diplomacy alone. It was created through action, direction, focus and guts!

If one were to genuinely study the international behemoths of yore, those mighty nations who achieved through action and vision, and not from just sitting back upon their haunches and taking a free ride upon the winds of fate, they would quickly discover that the true bastions of righteousness and ambition survived, and indeed even thrived, upon deed, innovation, courage and systemic pride! “So it was, so it is, and so it will always be!”

When a nation, any nation, begins to rest upon it’s laurels, past achievements, and a sometimes wallowing bureaucracy, or even chest pounding alone for that matter, it is doomed to eventual failure! “What elevates a country above all others, is usually the very same thing that keeps it at the top!” A sad reflection at times, I agree, but a provable fact none the less.

When any successful entity abandons it’s dreams and insight, in favor of being just another journeyman player upon an often losing team, it abandons much of what it is really all about! And when, for the sake of diplomacy or being non-confrontational alone, one accepts direction from proven losers, he has already taken his first steps into international servitude, and maybe even eventually oblivion.

Money, stature, ego and power alone, do not an undefeatable entity make! It takes perseverance, a firm stance, dedication to an ideal, and the ability to cast off past mistakes and proven failures, as well as those who seek to dictate to the workable or mislead the affirmative, to remain at the top of one‘s game, and indeed, to even survive! And of this - “I have absolutely no doubts!”
