I do support the war on Terrorism, I think it is a real problem for the world at large. It's easy for the outside world to point fingers at America and call us Shit kickers, but the fact remains most of the countries that point that finger have Islamic Terrorist problems of there own.
France, Germany, England all have problems with Islamic Terrorists, Russia, the Orient.
When ya look at it in hindsite, AQ blue up the WTC for problems in Palestine, then some guys killed alot of people for a Cartoon that came out of Germany, Terrorists are always looking for a reason and the reason can be any reason to justify a terrorist act.
Iraq was I think a Necessary war for more than just oil, it was a weak nation, Iraq faced future war's with Iran, and even Turkey. Iraq sits on some huge oil reserves and I do think those oil reserves would be in the wrong hands if the United States did not act when it did.
The war effort the WMD was all bullshit and i just wish the American Government came out and said it like it is rather than lie about shit to get the war machine moving.
Fact is Iraq is far to dangerous to fall in the hands of Islamic Radical's like Iran, Afghanistan.

Alien, interventionist foreign policy is an expensive joke, one the US cannot afford, the USG is borrowing billions a day to sustain it and racking up a massive debt. America is not and will not be threatened by any country even ones with thousands of nuclear weapons (like the Soviet union?), even if Iran managed to acquire a bomb, who cares? Pakistan have the bomb and have a far more dangerous dictator than people care to admit but that's ok is it?
As for Iraq being about oil, what was the oil price BEFORE iraq? $25? it's now $100.
Why get involved in these countries, it makes America less safe. the founding fathers said
'commerce with all nations, alliances with none' these are the principles that America were built on.
The Neo-conservatives are big government Democrats, they're not conservatives, Bush has increased spending faster than ever, it is time to support a
