When was the last time you could say anything negative about the government without people telling you that you are un-patriotic. Or without fear of being a “terrorsit”? Even people who were born and raised in this country could find themselves in Guantanamo tomorrow on terrorist charges.

And did any of you ever stop and think: Hey, if Sadam had WMDs and we attacked him – wouldn’t he point and fire those weapons at our troops, his own people or a neighbouring country?
And what if there was another war to break out right now – where will we get troops? What if NKorea attacked today? All the troops are in Iraq, what we have are worn-out soldiers and math teachers to get drafted.
Not to mention the economical implications of another full blown war – from which it will take generations to recover, if ever?
Why is Europe staying on the sideline? Because it’s beneficial for them. For America to work, they need to sell their products outside the country.
