Being from Detroit, I'd really like to see some of my tax dollars going to stopping the murders in Detroit, rather than to another country. You think the people who have to live here are happy to see $78 billion going overseas? Who's protecting us here in the USA?
We were asked to help with WWII and with Bosnia. I think we had no business being in Korea or Vietnam or Somalia for that matter... wasn't Somalia under Bush the first?
More than a year after this war has been "over", there are still frequent black outs in Iraq. The people still have no clean drinking water. When we had a black out for 2 days last summer, the whole east coast was grinded to a halt. They've been dealing with that for almost a year and a half! I don't think I'd find that terribly liberating.
There was no evidence of Al Qaeda being present in Iraq before the war, but they appear to be now (claiming responsibility for some suicide bombings in Baghdad). Al Qaeda has claimed responsibility for numerous bombings over the last few months.
North Korea has blatantly said "We have nuclear arms, what are you going to do about it?" and have refused to disarm.
How come nobody ever mentions the Iran-Contra Scam anymore?
