"It is easy for you and for me to shrug our shoulders and to say that conflicts taking place thousands of miles from the continental United States, ...do not seriously affect the Americas -- and that all the United States has to do is to ignore them and go about (our) its own business...

Once I built a tower up to the sun Brick and rivet and lime Once I built a tower, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime?
