Me either. Maybe the scariest thing of all is when a president of the
United States seems incapable of differentiating between legitimate
dissent and being "against us." My generation was decimated by one
war which was fought primary to avoid bruising the egos of a few
politicians and I will not stand by now and watch antother generation
bleed.

No, not really.
See comments from various faces of the administration over the past
few months.

It's nice to know that my country is going to be deficit spending
again in order to combat something that our president's dad created
when he was with the CIA. Maybe I'd feel some sympathy for the 9/11
victims if the United States weren't the biggest backer of terrorism
in the world. 3,000 people dead pales to the number we've killed in
Chile, Nicarauga, Iran/Iraq, El Salvidor, etc etc.
At least the cigar chomping idiots have some new ideology to fight
(Islam) since communism-hating isn't trendy anymore.

Pipe dreams. But it would be nice.

Liberal garbage, "War Machine" "Mass Slaughter" I would say just slightly
biased . These responses
in this thread smacks of young idealistic liberal ideas, remind me of when
I was in college, boy we had
all the answers to the worlds problems. Feed the world................oh
brother, makes me feel ah...so warm
and fuzzy inside. Come down to reality and get you head out of the friggin
clouds. My .02.

Unless you're dense, I think you get the idea. Real biased & inaccurate
stuff there. Right.
Instead bomb, invade & take over anyone who is different than us. After
helping to create a situation that insures attacks upon us, justifying
our "liberation" of their nations. Uh-huh.

I'm 30 years out of college and, indeed have given up any ideas that
we, or any nation, can solve all the world's problems by throwing
money at them. But guess what? We can't solve problems by throwing
BOMBS at them either.
The United States is ONE nation among many -- we just act like we're
the only one.
So, why don't you stand up for your beliefs and go join the terrorists like
johnny walker, or the kid in florida?
Don't you have the balls to stand up for your beliefs?
I'll tell you what, If my country calls me to action I will be there in a
New York minute.
