You Break It You Own It

""The search for world order has long been defined almost exclusively by the concepts of Western societies. In the decades following World War II, the U.S.—strengthened in its economy and national confidence—began to take up the torch of international leadership and added a new dimension. A nation founded explicitly on an idea of free and representative governance, the U.S. identified its own rise with the spread of liberty and democracy and credited these forces with an ability to achieve just and lasting peace. The traditional European approach to order had viewed peoples and states as inherently competitive; to constrain the effects of their clashing ambitions, it relied on a balance of power and a concert of enlightened statesmen. The prevalent American view considered people inherently reasonable and inclined toward peaceful compromise and common sense; the spread of democracy was therefore the overarching goal for international order. Free markets would uplift individuals, enrich societies and substitute economic interdependence for traditional international rivalries.""

The first rule is: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. John Karry (Hillary Clinton) and Barack Obama misperceived the world as broken because it didn't conform to the latest progressive views. They therefore need to own the problems they have created.

That is not to say they should be allowed to keep fiddling with things they don't understand.  A smart drunk let's the reins drop depending on the horse to get him home.

It is time for the dems to drop the reins and let the elephant bring back stability.
