You guys crack me up. Bunch of pessimistic whine bags,"we shouldn't be there, our government is all wrong, our policies suck, another vietnam, we're all doomed" waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Listen folks, its simple. Would you rather drive your 4x4 to go fishing or work or would you rather take your daughters tricycle? Do you like to vacation once in awhile, furthur than your own neighborhood? How about visiting relatives, maybe fly somewhere, maybe someplace warm in the winter. Speaking of winter, what heats you home? I know I know... Lets give up the oil and cut all the trees down and heat ourselves with that. But wait, without fuel, how do I get my firewood home. Ah, my horse and buggy? Hell, we don't need cars, we can walk to the market to do our groceries, we don't need to spend countless hours and countless tanks of gas to go fishing or hunting or traveling with our loved ones to some exotic place. We can just stay home forever. Why waste the fuel. Hell, we don't need it! We can just crawl into our caves, burn sticks and eat grocery meats and fish and be happy forever. We don't need goods, hell it cost money(fuel) to get this stuff back and forth. Its a waste! Let the middle east have all to themselves, afterall, they're going to destabilize the world markets anyways because they're just a bunch of you-know-whats. Yes folks, its about the oil and keeping the world markets stable. I've got good friends who are fighting and working in Iraq and Afganistan and they are proud to there, they(99%) agree with our countries policy and they see themselves as making a difference. If the policies were decided and implememted by some of you whinebags, then we truly could revert back to our caves.
