I agree with your concerns, DeltAlum. This is, as always, a hard one. Our position in the world does give us a certain responsibility to other countries, and I'm glad to see Saddam go, but who or what will go up in his place? Didn't we put Saddam in place? Didn't we create Osama? Half of the human rights violators in the world were put in place by a U.S. government that was fearful of communism or some such thing. It was downright irresponsible to put them there in the first place, and it was even more irresponsible to make such a mess of fixing things.
It really disturbs me that those who question our government now have their patriotism called into question. I thought that it was not only our right, but our responsibility as Americans to keep our leaders on their toes. Isn't that what a democracy is?
I saw a bumper-sticker on a car the other day. It said "REVOLUTION BEGINS AT HOME."
I couldn't agree more.
