[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2085809, member: 229"] First off - your previous comment about military spending for the GDP is way off. DoD (including overseas operations) is the largest chunk of money we spend in the budget (unless you include Medicare and Medicade in DHHS). Don't get me wrong, DHHS shouldn't have anywhere near that much in the budget, but neither should DoD. Secondly, my point is more that our meddling overseas has caused more problems than it's cured. Nearly every instance (like 90-ish%) of terrorism on US Soil or against US personnel on foreign soil can be traced back to US operations meddling previously in that country or with those people (whether it's us working with local guerrillas and then betraying them and suddenly labeling them as terrorists, or a stray bomb that hit innocent bystanders, or our intervening in some way/shape/form with foreign affairs - we've caused a lot of this). Historic facts and logic dictate that our meddling has caused these issues. Where is the proof that "they" would still be here if we hadn't? There is none, because we've never tried it and most likely never will. It's really a moot point because at present, we've caused so many issues by meddling that if we stopped right now, we'd still have the fallout of all the current "terrorism" for decades. [/QUOTE]
