I had no problem removing Saddam from power. I have a serious problem in borrowing money from China to fight wars in middle-east. If our treasury had surplus dollars sitting around, by all means act as policeman and keep bad guys around the world in check.
But when we are bankrupt based on GAAP accounting standards, it is height of folly to spend 10 times more than any other nation. Have’nt we learned anything from the Roman empire, the Third Reich, USSR, etc who all went bankrupt trying to spend on military adventures.
Probably had no choice after the First Gulf War.....But looking back that was the mistake......After that Saddam became obsessed with exacting his revenge on the US, and made deals with terrorists that he wouldn’t have made otherwise.
The Neutron Bomb was designed to deal with Muslims.
I have a serious problem with not fighting wars the way you fight wars. Scorched earth, stop nation building and winning the hearts and minds. You win wars by removing the will and means of you enemy to fight. The will is the most important of the two to take.
Our leaders are not naive enough to think that anyone who invades us would not hesitate to go all out, why do we?
