QUOTE We need to stay the F out of other countries altogether. Stop meddling, stop lying. It only continues to make things worse. As long as you're stopping just short of isolationism remember how well that works for Roosevelt. I'll stay out of your back yard as long as you stay out of mine might have worked for Madison (almost), but it doesn't get there anymore.
I'm not talking about isolationism. I'm talking about screwing with other countries we have no business screwing with. Meddling in their affairs to get the outcome WE would rather THEY have. Starting wars with lies. Putting military bases in how many countries? Is isolation or hegemony the only 2 choices there are?

- Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara in a private letter to President Lyndon B. Johnson, May 196792
"Who is the enemy? How can you distinguish between the civilians and the noncivilians? The same people who come and work in the bases at daytime, they just want to shoot and kill you at nighttime. So how can you distinguish between the two? The good or the bad? All of them look the same."

You'd think after so many failed attempts in the middle east by multiple countries eventually we'd learn that the old adage the enemy of enemy is my friend is crock of sh!t.
The delusional ass clowns that run those countries and/or vying for power in a region will never be our friend.
We need to get the funk out and stay out.
I'd just as soon spent another 1 trilion and a failed TARP program than give it to some sh!thole country that will take it then turn around and try to kill us.

After we screw up health care reform, let's take on the initiative of unscrewing the education system (gov't education)

Afghanistan should have been bombed in retaliation for 9/11 and Iraq/Saddam should have been contained further with no fly zones..
Republican President George Bush decides to destroy, occupy and then rebuild both.. 
Him and Cheney both made millions because of those wars.. They're nothing but a couple of con men..
The middle east is friked up more than it already was because of those two freaks..

Think of how many government program $87 billion would pay for.
