[quote=temeculaguy]The Ides of March was on the 15th, and one of the few superstitions my rational brain still cannot fully ignore.
I thought we were supposed to start getting out of wars, not getting into new ones.
I’m having trouble understanding why it’s our responsibility to help fight dictators in far away places. We seem to be able to get by with minimal conflict when it comes to Castro and Chavez. Don’t say oil, Chavez has lots of oil, we never have wars with Venezuela, and that guy is totally nuts. Castro is not exactly benevolent. Is it that the catholic dictators aren’t as big on human atrocities or terrorism? I say, who cares as long as it stays over there, I can’t think of a time in history where the middle east was peaceful, nor do envision a future where it will be. So why can’t we just watch it on TV, I’ll gladly root for the french, I’m glad they found their testicles, they have my permission to take a turn dealing with it. Meanwhile, we’ve only been using oil for less than a century, let’s figure that thing out and it will be whole lot easier ignoring these places.[/quote]
TG: Not to be nit-picky or anything, but, uh, Chavez and Castro are both communists. Not Catholic. There might be some similarities between the two that I don’t know about, but I thought I’d point that out.
