only an accountant would reduce a qualitative question to a quantitative one. what, are we going to give points for inefficiency? so, no.
> America is a good country; she does not make war on children.
well, that's obviously a lie, as well as being premised on a telling premise: nations as subjects, unified.

Utopianism

err... 'reflects the goodness and greatness'? no.
> interventionism is the
> incubator of terrorism?
this is only partly true. but, what about the red brigades, the weathermen? they weren't a 'threat from the outside' nor a 'blast against US interventionism'. so, no.
> [All four statements are from a recent speech by Patrick Buchanan.]
that was kinda obvious in the premises, but you should have made it into a game and not told us. this was no fun at all. i also think the subject header should have been something along the lines of 'lookee, buchanan is scared of the world', or 'global apartheid: you stay over there and we won't bother you anymore', or maybe even 'arms for terrorists, no! walls for america, yes!'.
does that mean i don't get any points! darn.
