I never suggested that the foreign aid was meant to feed people. We're buying friends and in my opinion thats a waste of money. Its backfired on us many times and we're in no position to be handing out billions here and billions there. As far as your view on war I pretty much agree. The would be my policy on war and its very simplistic. Number 1 on my list would be screw the UN. Number 2 on my list would be the defining question. At the end of the day if things aren't going as planned are we as a country willing to wipe out every living thing in the country we're at war with. If we can't say yes to that question then we don't go to war. We haven't won a war since WWII and there's a reason for that. In WWII we were willing to bomb cities into rubble. There were no "surgical strikes." It was lookout below. We don't do that now and our unwillingness to do that costs the lives of our Children. Our society has lost its strength and unity when it comes to war. We've become fractured and that limits the scope and time that we have to wage war. Now, I don't want war - thats not what I'm saying. But when we have to go to war we've got to allow our troops to fight as ugly as our enemy does. As it stands we're now in a position where we can't even deal with Iran because of our own societal weakness and lack of support for Bush. Tehran needs to be nuked - today. Yes I said nuked. We can take care of the nuclear installations later (next week). But its time to send a message to that corner of the world that we mean business and we're willing to wipe out an entire culture if we have to. I wish it weren't that way but thats what I've concluded. I'm not sure I'm right and I know I wouldn't want to face my god after I decided to nuke a civilization
