I hear some folks believe the Earth is only 4 or 5 thousand years old… something like that.

I, myself am totally convinced that God created the heavens and the Earth and man and America and free markets and the war on terror and all that great stuff on September 11, 2001. Yee-haw!!!

To be fair, cowboy diplomacy might not be the right wording. The original “cowboy diplomacy” was to “speak softly and carry a big stick”. Post-9/11, the modus operandi seems to be “run your mouth and be completely impotent”. The promises of defeating terrorism abroad and at home seem to have gone unfulfilled.
