Brumar, I contend we would have been better off in the US to have used the 200 billion plus, and manpower, to expand alternative energy sources, even subsidize it.
200 billion and more to come - could have done quite a lot for us.
Hybrid cards, faster work on hydrogen, fuel cells, solar, wind, clean coal, perhaps even remote nuclear farms hundreds of miles away from our cities, with superconducting lines to bring in the power.
So much could have been done with the resources we are using up now in Iraq.
In my opinion, this would have led to a much stronger, more independent, America. I think you share that goal with me, we just have different ways to get there.

My opinion is we will still be there in some fashion or other in 2-3 years. Even if we aren't in Iraq proper, American troops are going to be somewhere close by in the Gulf region. The region is vital to the world economy and very vulnerable. |
