The truth is that ending these misguided wars and occupations will make us safer, more prosperous and more free.
I do believe that some wars were necessary but the wars of choice we’ve have been embarking on have been disastrous. .[/quote]
What Ron Paul does not acknowledge is the amount of jobs that were created from the 9/11 economy. It’s a large industry in itself and backing out the housing bubble would probably make it the biggest growth economy of the past decade. Though, I agree in a debt sense(which does not seem to matter or at least hasn’t yet) and in a moral and spiritual sense, we would be much more prosperous without the way things were conducted both militarily and PR wise. Instead, it’s like a metastasizing tumor in our soul and balance sheet that really fuels the justifications for it’s own existence. The way the country is “remembering” 9/11 is the opposite of historical, which is how we should be dealing with it. Putting it into the context of the US’ 20th and 21st century history is what we should be doing, not making a religion of it.
