We obviously do not represent common sense and reason.
Do you know how close we were to swatting Iran last year?
Do you think the Iranians would be in the streets, if we swatted Iran last year. No, swatting them would only unify support for the current government, costing billions of dollars of military engagement with another country. Let the Iranians solve their own problems. If it gets out of hand, than let the global community intercede.
As for Korea... do you understand that our current policies continue to alienate direct communications with North Korea and their neighbors. We fall into North Korea's strategy every time they come to us, and ignore their neighbors.
Our "world cop" attitude is breaking our piggy bank. How do you think the Soviet Union collapsed? Lets stick to priorities people. We already cannot afford the few trillion dollars on bailouts, the trillion dollars in maintaining social services like social security and education, the trillion dollars on national healthcare, along with a few trillion dollars overseas and not go broke! We have to live within our means.
Oh by the way, if japan and china are involved in a war, because we decided to swat North Korea... I doubt they will continue to give us the loans that we so desperately need to fund more "fly swatting".
Does anyone understand this?
Our country also does not represent simple arithmetic.
