5. In the case of the Iraq invasion it was "nothing was better than something"
And the Congress had noooooo problem getting us in that multi-trillion dollar quagmire!

This country looooooves killing and maiming foreign nationals for no reason, but when it comes to health care for all Americans, then we need to "trek slowly and cautiously."

But when you think about it, both Congressional actions benefited the wealthy few: the Iraq invasion moved billions/trillions of dollars to members of the military-industrial complex, and "health-care reform" moved billions to members of the health-industrial complex.

However, the less fortunate in both cases will suffer ill health and death...

6. It's a game of field position.
Sometimes you have to settle for the field goal. We seem to be a little weak at the skill positions.
