Terrific comments! I'm enjoying reading and learning as well. Many things I did not realize.
I must say I strongly agree with a few of Coramoor's points. I'm in the Army and I always see the US contributing more and being the first ones into a danger zone whenever the UN is involved. Which I think it total BS.
I also agree we need to put our OWN house in order before
we rescue victims of religious/cultural wars which have spanned the ages.I am an American soldier and I see no need to risk US lives for other countries-other than in protecting our own self-interests. Selfish? Yes, but nothing is wrong with helping yourself before you help others.
I believe we need to keep our eye on China and we should let the Middle East duke it out. We have alienated so many people, so many countries. Everyone looks to the US to jump in and "save" them, feed them, educate them. Remember the Ford Explorer tire fiasco? Good grief, we didn't even have a factory in this country that could produce the tires we needed. "American Made" are words that just about belong in the archives. Lot's of little laws around imports/exports that I know even less about except for the bottom line-it's hurting our economy. (I was on a roll-I just deleted about 2 paragraphs! LOL) SO IN CONCLUSION -"God helps he who helps himself!" AMERICA FIRST!-Where's my flag?
