I think you are 100% right about that.
And I'm also thinking that our federal govt. has managed to pretty much set the world on fire with our foreign policy over the last 12 years.
That's just one of the reasons I think our govt. is out of control.
Spying on people, invading countries that did not attack us (Afghanistan never attacked us and neither did Iraq), trying to bully every country on Earth economically to do what we want them to do.
This is NOT what our country was founded on.
I think that we the people of the United States still believe in those founding principles, but our govt. does not.
They think they can run our lives here in the U.S. AND run everyone's lives around the world.
The results are plain to see: Our country is bankrupted and in 17 trillion dollars of debt, we are searched at airports like criminals, the police are abusive and deadly, our prisons are full (we are NUMBER ONE at incarcerating our own citizens), we are spied on by our own govt., and most of the people in the world do not like us.
And now we are gonna continue with the insanity of Iraq?
Those people do not want us there. We are "infidels" and "crusaders".
This is what happens when you give the govt. too much power and too much money.
