[QUOTE="GlockPride, post: 3020009, member: 12153"] I'm assuming that Hugo Chavez was originally elected under my vague remembrance of history without looking it up. If you have other data, I'm willing to accept it. And, yes, we simply cannot fight all wars and nullify all the evil in the world. Especially when we have darn near 50% of this country trying to tear us down from the inside to resemble the same thing in Venezuela. Also, we cannot even take care of our veterans as they are now, the homeless, the invalid or the psychologically disturbed. I get the desire to help, I really do. I used to, as a conservative, want the country to fight for anything and everything. I wanted to think we could solve all the world's problems as the big 'Super Power'. But as I've grown, matured and studied that simply isn't an option. I'm more libertarian in my views now and conservative on others. Which leads me more to a bring them home and let the world sort itself out. But, that also isn't reality either. I get that too. If you can go in with a small team, shoot one bullet and change the country for the better, then ok, I'm in. We have to commit ships, planes, men by the tens or hundreds of thousands, and years upon decades of [U]'rebuilding' [/U]then I'm out. Our 'product' of delivering 'freedom' has NOT worked the last dozen times we've tried it. What makes us smart enough to think it's going to work here simply because it's not geographically located in the Middle East? [/QUOTE]
