If we stopped waging war on countries that have never attacked us, we could afford health care and border security and pay off the national debt AND give away all the foreign aid we wanted.

But where's the profit for Haliburton in that....?

....and get the home interest rates up to 16% again

Diki,
I wonder how long it would take Haliburton to develop an alternate energy source if they tried? A week maybe! You're right-it's all about the dollar.
Back to music, my brain is tired worrying about stuff I can't do anything about.

Amen, DonM.......

I'm off to wage war on a six-pack...... cover me!

Careful, big guy, you're in Bush Country .

It's all funny money. How many HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS for Iraq? How many HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS for Katrina/Rita? Where is all of this money coming from? What about the interest on TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS of debt and how about the TRILIONS OF DOLLARS of debt, itself? More funny money. Lots of funny money around, isn't it. They just print more money, it's the biggest racket in history. The USA is a big lie, a big scheme, all by itself.

Testy aren't we....but you are right!!!

...Land that I LOVE, baby.

And I think this thread is done now. Hey I must be frank and confess that I have never been very trusting of governments in ANY country. I grew up in the 60s during the Vietnam war ( only just narrowly missing being drafted in Australia to go fight in that war ) and generally tend to regard all government representatives with suspicion until they prove themselves otherwise. Though Jimmy Carter certainly has proved himself to be a man of honor and has achieved some amazing things and I give him full credit for his work. But generally I think goverment representatives are all too concerned with their own self interest. But don't mistake them for the people they represent. That is not at all fair.

Don't attack other nations and think that people from there won't take offense.
I don't think this is the place for political discussion and criticism. There are other forums better suited for for that. But just NOT here!!! Just accept people for who they are not who they are ruled by. We all love the countries we come from so we aren't different at all fundamentally.
