You better not be talking about other people.....like Iraq and whatnot.... And i just want to add that George Bush didnt find any WMD because he was looking in the wrong place...He should start with the United States and work his way from there. What makes it right for the U.S. to have nukes and stuff, but when other country's have them they are ...as he put it..." A threat to America"....heaven forbid blowing up the planet, america might suffer!!!

But china doesnt go attacking other countrys to make a statement. George Bush sr. faught Saddam, so George "dubbya" Bush had to take up the sibling rivalry in my view. Im just sick of the militarism of the said country.

Watch it Typhoid. People will try to smash you good. They tried to smash me good. Although, I have studied a lot on the subject. So now if I ever got in another argument about it I'd be okay. Study up so you can support your argument.

Going to War without support from other countries defeats the whole purpose. I personally wish we never went into Iraq in the first place. When Bush keeps repeating "He was a bad bad man and we just had to go in there and take him out" (not exact words but you get the point). Bush is running us into a much deeper deficit that will take a very long time to recover. Historians will look back at this time as one in which bad decisions were made.

I personally feel that going to war without justifying a good reason just so he can try to regain popularity, etc...just sickens me. If Bush's stupid ass would've waited for support from the UN, we wouldnt be in such a horrible situation with money being wasted everyday and our own troops being forced to stay longer then what they were said. Hell, I just heard the other day that some troops were within hours of boarding a flight home then they were told they were staying longer. Just sad.

I see the future of the US as a country who wants to spy on us, steal our privacy, and give useless excuses like "But we need to be more secure". Then while at it, launch wars against countries because we feel we have so much money to just throw around. Anyone care to disagree the fact that the US is basically becoming Big Brother to everything we do?

Thank god, Jonbo. An American who agrees with me about the Big Brotehr thing.

My problem with the Iraq war is it has nothing to do with the WTC. Why bother going there? All you're doing is killing civilians.

I didn't say "What?" because I was offended, I just didn't understand what you were saying. Thank you for clarifying your viewpoint. Although as you have already pointed out the United States is not a country that would be associated with militarism. The military is not of primary importance to our state. We spend 3.2% of our GDP on our military. Where as North Korea spends 33.9% of their GDP on military. So you could call North Korea a militarist state, but not the United States.
