[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2709711, member: 24531"] Oh, saddam's boys are worse than he was...I won't dispute that...but you would agree that we've allied with brutal dictators when it served our purposes in the past....and that included saddam at one time. I'm not defending saddam, but 1 million Iraqis died as a result of that war in addition to our brave men & women...I think the loss to the Iraqis has been much more by now than saddam would have done. It would be nice if they had been able to have established a secure, free republic but that isn't what happened...America is worse off now in my opinion and you and I get to pay the bill...but thanks for any service you rendered whether in a civilian or military capacity. My disagreement with the results doesn't mean our people do not have incredible valor. For far too long the socialists in Europe have used us as their world army so they could make us do the defense spending and they could have their entitlement utopia...It's time to look out for what's best for us and fix our situation at home. We can still maintain peace through strength and only get involved militarily in direct defense of the nation. Either that or we need to declare ourselves an empire and get the spoils of war instead of nit-picking who we'll help and being politically correct. Saddam was bad, but so are many others and we can't afford to fight them all; why haven't we intervened in Darfur? From wikipedia: [I]"(George) Washington goes on to urge the American people to take advantage of their isolated position in the world, and avoid attachments and entanglements in foreign affairs, especially those of Europe, which he argues have little or nothing to do with the interests of America."[/I] [/QUOTE]
