The recent Iranian kerfuffle has brought out the hate America and the not quite hate, but the disdain for America crowd. These are not just the Trump haters but the people who have spent their whole lives disparaging America. And this well before there was a Donald John Trump 45th and 47th POTUS. They can't write a book, make a speech or have a discussion without saying something degrading or nasty about the United States of America.
In response, we happened to realize something and that led us to this one little question.
The United States of America has military bases in 49 different countries. If you ask the internet it will give you different numbers every time but we can be pretty sure it's at least 49 countries. So the question is, what do all those countries have in common? Different parts of the world, different cultures, different languages, different religions and yet, one thing in common.
It's just a one word answer but before we give it to you, we have to make a little notation about the U.A.E. Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordon, Turkey and Oman. They all came under attack during this Iranian kerfuffle. But stop to think about how many casualties those countries would have suffered had they not had American air defenses, intercepting most of those missiles and drones fired at them.
And now for the answer, drum roll please.... The answer is... Peace.
