- DumbYankee, you guys also should leave, simply because it's a very bad, unjust war.
Well Puzzler, you're right of course.. it's a bad and unjust war. I didn't vote for Dubya' 1st or 2nd time (49% of us didn't); I'm sorry hillbillys saw him as a savior. What can I say, this is a complicated country here. Lot's of factions, ethnicities. You guys are lucky that way, no? Yes we can't afford to cowboy around the globe and those days are swiftly drawing to a close. Thank God..Plenty of 08' candidates are calling for immediate withdrawl from the Iraq.. As to giving away money to Israel, right again. They can take care of themselves for now on. We've got a candidate by the name of Ron Paul who wants to be non-interventionist and pay down the deficit right away (and when you tax the rich making money off
china and India, it's not so hard). Paul raised 6 million in one day on the internet.. by regular people, so he might be a good fit.
Someone started this thread for a reason; I was merely commenting on my own personal dealings with the English, whom I find hypocritical. They are good song writers but little else. There are a lot of people here in the US who do not see them as allies any more. They laugh and criticize us constantly and then have the God Damn gaul to ask us for things like we're friends. They've made decisions that will have repercussions in the future. I'd much rather deal with Sarkozy and Merkel, Tusk.. the continent of Europe (as a whole) is where the true power lies. England won't even join the EU. What the hell do you care what they think?? Does that sound like a good move to you?
To the gentleman who commented on the US bankrolling the Nazis.. well, maybe we'll just let the hangover take care of that little bit of wisdom.
P.S... We didn't have to land in Normandy or parachute into North Africa... It wasn't really that long ago. My grandfather was in the first tank wave across the Rhine and would visibly shake when talking about it. I don't want my kids or me to have to shake.. or yours either. I hope you are fair in your criticisms of the Russians and Chinese.. because they're coming. You can bet your a.sses on that. I like Poland so I visit these boards.. so what? I live in Indiana, we have a county named Kosciuszko.. sound like a Jewish name to you??
Ahh well.. I have to go invade Costa Rica now..
