Bush and Cheney wanted to go into Iraq, but it seems to me that EVERYBODY should have wanted to go into Afghanistan.

The Europeans aren't going to take the lead because we've been their "ATM" since WWII. We pay all the money and we provide all the troops.

This would be an "excellent" time for us to tell the Europeans that we can't keep paying for everything anymore.

WHY do we have to have troops in Germany? The Germans have a lot of people and a very large economy.

We are the policeman for the world and we can no longer afford it. We can still be the "main" cops, but these other guys should have to start manning their own local police stations.
