Agreed. However, in that time frame, the government can do what ever it likes and not necessarily for the good of the people. Dude.. the Democrats have a FULL MAJORITY in both the house and senate right now. They can pass WHATEVER THEY WANT TO PASS and the Republicans can't do a thing to stop them. They can't blame Republicans for stopping Health Care reform. They can pass it all by themselves. They can't blame Republicans for the lack of jobs, or failure to restore economic growth. They OWN the problem completely. They could pass Global Warming and CO2 cap and trade legislation right now. So you know what's preventing them from do what they want? It's called constituent pressure and the fear they won't be re-elected. That is called integrity. But that goes with any time type of job. It should, but it obviously doesn't. Look at Goldman Sacks(sic).. They are raping and pillaging the US financial industry. Again it is a humanitarian mission. It is either you send civilians or the military to complete the job. How do you think those civilians get there? Military airlift or vehicles. And who do you think rebuilds a country after defeating and occupying it? It's the military who rules under martial law until civilian authorities/entities are stable enough to take over. It's what we did in Japan and Germany. No different in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hawk
