I don't think that we should generally be the world's police force either. Maybe sometimes in specific situations we should, and other times there may be no other good choice.

Look at the dollar... we're approaching third world status.

That's pretty extreme hyperbole.

we are losing one war, and if some SOB happens to attack us somewhere else we are in deep shit. We can't respond.

Neither statement is true.

But what really pisses me off is the way you folks don't care about the human damage. >11,000 casualties on our side, 50K to 100K on their side.

You misunderstand the feelings of most supporters of the war if you think they don't care about casualties on our side or among Iraqi civilians.


All this, for nothing. Except oil, or a Bush family vendetta.


That is not true.


You are a piece of shit for supporting this war


To the extent that you can influence anyone's opinion (and I recognize that in a forum like this that extent is usually small) you might have more success if you keep the conversation civil.
