hs, interesting point. And you’re a military wife, too. How does your husband feel about the US foreign policy? Did he go willingly into any combat?
I always said that the president who wages war should put his own life on the line. He should challenge the other leader to a sword fight.
Then the war is decided by only one life lost.
If it’s that important, let him go too. Napoleon did that. He fought with his troops.
What does China think about Iran and their nuclear ambitions? Why are they not worried about it? Do they just want to sell the bomb making material to Iran, do they want to keep negotiations open to buy oil, or do they think it’s not a threat?
About Abu Ghraib – that was just a few people acting out of line. If someone at IBM raids the petty cash drawer, do we say that all technology companies hire thieves? The men and women of the military are 99% honorable, hard working, patriotic. I just feel bad that they have to leave their families for so much, and that they make their living occupying other countries and killing people. That is bad karma. You cannot tell your creator you killed those Iraqis because your president asked you to. That’s not a good reason. Now if those Iraqis came here and attacked us, I’d say we should fight back. But why do we always have to be the ones to invade, to start a war? PD, do you defend this? I’m curious why anyone thinks this is good. Just trying to learn…
