Meddling in someone else's business, never creates friends.

Would you be my friend, if I was all in your business, moving into your house, to make sure and force you to do what I tell you to do?


Would you eliminate your problem, or feed your friend... Me?


Now do you understand where our foreign policy has led us?

Oh crap, I thought you really looking for new friend. If that were the case, likely. We could debate the relative merits of shotguns v. bows or traditional v. re-curve.

Dude, I don't know where you and Ron Paul get your information from, but the USA just doesn't barge into other countries and do what it wants. We are ASKED to come in and do whatever it is we are asked to do by THAT COUNTY'S GOVERNMENT! Just because a few disgruntled radicals don't like it, doesn't mean that we weren't asked to be where we are. For as long as RP has been in the US government, you'd think he would have learned this a long time ago. If we were to just take it on our own and just barge into another country without permission, that would be an act of war. We don't just build bases in other country's WITHOUT their permission, that would be an invasion and an act of war. So again, just because some religious nutbags don't want anyone on their "holy land", doesn't give them justification to launch terrorist attacks on civilians. These people that are pissed off are nobodies, they aren't the governments of these countries, they are rag tag azzholes. Who really cares what THEY want? I sure don't.
BTW, do we have too many bases around the world? I think we do, but we are ASKED to stay there for numerous reasons. Again, who cares what the nutbags think, they are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

I wouldn't say Bin Laden was a nobody. Easy solution to all of this is the countries that want us in theirs have to pay the bill + some. Everything else revolves around money so should protection.

Have you ever heard of a saying, "Give me liberty, or give me Death?

I don't think there was a 72 virgin incentive thrown in, though.

You have a very short term memory, don't you.

What happened yesterday? See you do have short term memory loss!

No, Afghanistan attacked us and we barged right in.

Iraq attacked us and we barged right in.

Bosnia attacked us, and we marched right in.

Honduas...

Panama...

Vietnam

Korea

I'll even say Japan.(if you understand the reason Japan bombed Pearl Harbor)

Germany

Of those wars and conflicts who drew first blood and who was instigating.

Is it?


We are calling those nations our friends... are we not?

We are all up in their business... are we not?

We moved into their house with 900 military bases in 150 houses... did we not?

We look over them to be sure they do what we say to do, or else... do we not?
