Why not spend those dollars on the problems plagueing THIS country? What exactly gives us the right to force democracy on another sovereign state? Since we saved the Iraqi people, what about the poor people living in war-torn Africa? Oh, that's right, there's no oil there....

I have to agree with you here. We have some serious domestic issues that need addressing. I think we should choose our future battles very carefully. I'd like to see us go to war on unemployment, homelessness, famine, disease, etc., right on our own shores for starters.

Spook, that was a long post. lol. Also, in reference to your follow up post, it is clear that (to many) the U.S. is the "Evil Empire". I'm still convinced that this world would be a worse place without the U.S. I would hate to think what this world would be like without us.
