You mean before we couldn't call them terrorists, didn't think about releasing Gitmo detainees in the US, figured that anyone who took up arms against us was our enemy, adopted a policy of reducing our ballistic missile defense in response to a ballistic threat from the Iranians and NKs, treated our allies poorly and our enemies with respect, bowed to foreign potentates, sat around with our thumbs us our collective asses while a bunch of savages playing pirates held a US merchant marine skipper hostage, that sort of bad old days?
