International law and order

I prefer Dan Gardner's Ottawa Citizen critique of Fred Thompson's assertion of American exceptionalism to Ed Morrissey's support of it. I would indeed put the Empire and Old Commonwealth - especially Britain and Canada, and also the Aussies and Kiwis - up against this from Mr Thompson:

'You know," drawled Fred Thompson at a recent rally in Des Moines, Iowa, "you look back over our history and it doesn't take you long to realize that our people have shed more blood for other people's liberty than any other combination of nations in the history of the world."
