[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 1954605, member: 1957"] I dunno..... Unless we wait for our shores to be attacked, invaded.....whatever word you want to use.....by then it may be too late. My degree isn't in history but I vaguely remember our involvement in WWII was to stop the Germans and Japanese from ruling the world. Korean War was to stop the spread of an evil power to South Korea. Vietnam was to stop the spread of the communist north into the south. At least that is what we were told. Did the Gulf of Tonkin incident really happen? I don't know. Did the military-industrial complex have a hand and a dollar to be made in it? Don't know. Saddam was said to not have WMD but he used poison gas on his own people....especially the Kurds who asked the US for assist in an uprising that they (kurds) didn't get. This really pissed off Saddam. That's a big desert over there. Several battalions of soldiers and a few bulldozers could hide large amounts of WMD. I don't like wars. You act like I do. As long as man exists you will have greed, hate, egocentrism and other attributes that cause war. Several centuries ago the Christian Crusades was thought to be a defensive action against invading muslims. Fast forward several centuries....the muslims have shown they can exact tremendous damage in the name of their supreme being. Does it appear we are on the defense again? Their scope is world domination....it supposedly says that in the Koran. You tell us how far our country should go in eliminating current and future threats. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
