Boy I'm really confused. We invade Iraq to help the UN ? But wasn't the invasion highly criticized by the UN? Which is it help or hurt? No WMD's in Iraq? So what were the violations that Iraq committed that effected the US directly. Violations that were so severe that the US had to invade another country without UN support.
We had the world on our side after 911, with the invasion of Iraq we lost that support. We have no right to invade another country that does not cause us direct harm .
At least we agree on re-investing back in our country, education, jobs, etc. But here again I'm confused as to why you didn't vote for Kerry in the last election as he was for all of these things. GW has given big business the free ride it's wanted and what do they do with it? See that's what happens when you vote with your wallet instead of your brain
Quote:The reason we needed to invade Iraq was that Saddam was refusing to comply with UN resolutions. His actions if allowed to continue could have down-graded the authority of the UN to the League of Nations. The indecision of the UN to resolve to take action against Iraq for multiple violations of UN resolutions was and is unacceptable. Today Iraq, who tomorrow? (Yes, Iran, and North Korea are bigger threats than Iraq). GWB, did take action into his own hands, with out UN support. WMD are a non issue, there were more than enough other violations to warrant military action.
Our country has been in the process of becoming a second rate world power. Bigger concerns should be the rise of China's economic and military power, the rebirth of Russian economic and political power, religious extremists, and rogue nations.
To regain our world power, we need to re-invest in our country. We need to educate our children and work force, bring manufacturing home, and encourage US based companies not to export jobs.
According to Mahalamatics, I paid my families share of the national debt this year.
More to come, but it is time for Yoga now!
