10. My sentiments exactly |
|
Let's just call it done. Iraq, Afghanistan, the whole war on terror. Let's spend that money on things here at home. And let's just fight terrorism with police and intelligence, not with armies.
It's time we got our country back, pre-9/11, and this would be the perfect time to do so.

11. my suggestion for how to strike while the iron is hot.. |
|
Now would be a perfect time for a BIG speech, laying out the following:
Bin Laden is captured/killed. Middle Easterners are throwing off the oppressive leaders of decades. The US & allied forces have set in motion, plans for the Iraqis & Afghans to take care of themselves.
These are all sovereign nations, and the leaders the people choose can come to us at ANY time for advice, but the military actions in that region are OVER..
Our forces are coming home...ALL of them
The Middle East now has a task at hand.. They can align with the rest of the world, and get their houses in order as they get back to the business of commerce, education and the betterment of their own people. We cannot GIVE them freedom, but we have removed impediments to their achieving their own freedom.
It is now up to them to choose the correct path for their people.

20. Why now? Why not 65 years ago? Because it it a method of the rich stealing money from the middle |
|
class. As long as the middle class has money to steal, there will be wars.
