I had many good friends that lost their lives trying to make this world a better place, for those that can't defend themselves. People that just want to scratch out a meager existance and don't a pot to piss in. If the U.S. as a superpower doesn't try to stem this tide, then who will. And when the shit hits the fan on our own ground as it did on 9-11, who will go after and stop the groups and tyrants that instigated it. You should feel very lucky that you live in a society that lets you question your government.
Sorry for the flag waving. But that is just the way I feel.
