I don't get it? You equate all of this to business making more money and you say I don't get it? To hell with world shrinkage. I didn't do my time in the military to ensure one world government and world shrinkage I can clue you. And the only folks in this world cooperating are the ones trying to bend us over the stump and to think otherwise is naive. The US military is the most powerful in the world and can be opposed by no one don't kid yourself otherwise. If our last two forays don't prove that I don't know what does. Look at our last election, the strife and public lunacy that carries on to this day. There is no other countries military on the planet that would have allowed the transference of power peacefully after that last election. The military is a monopoly that knows it's place well. No other system works as well as ours and 70% of our country agrees right now. Give that a thought for second. As too our country treading carefully and understanding restraint don't kid yourself, we understand restraint. If we were prone to reacting with emotion and without restraint there would no longer be a middle east problem nor North Korea problem. We have the power to do that and the fact that we haven't says volumes if you listen. We have the power to do that with just 2 Trident missile subs without ever recalling anyone else from leave. We understand restraint very well. You don't understand that Saddam promised to disarm and destroy his weapons of mass destruction while proving all of this to UN weapons inspectors. This is why we stopped blowing his troops up on the hwy of death. That is why we did not go to Baghdad the first time. He begged us to stop sending all of his guards to Allah and we agreed as long as he got rid of his weapons so he was no longer a threat. He didn't and he refused to do so right up until we lauched operation hang Saddam from the light poll. End of conversation.
