"Fix it America". Fix it so we can blame you for every bomb that doesn't hit the target. Blame you for anything short of perfection. We can accuse you of waging war for oil. But fix it. Times have changed. Today the answer is just as likely to be nope. No can do. Do it yourself, Europe. Get someone else to save the world. Or, "I already gave at the office."
