I am still hurting so this will be another short one

To begin with we have less to worry about from COUNTRIES than the few insane bombers that having an army in every country will not stop and in fact would make things worse. We could arguabley take on the entire world and although we would not win we could turn the planet into a stoneage radioactive hellhole and every country in the world knows it.


Most of what you say the USA should be doing is not our problem but IS the UNs problem, isnt that what it is there for? I would fully support a UN strike force made up of ALL the nations to do just what you stated and even more, like helping third world countries build the needed infrastucture to boost there standrad of living.

But we should just be a member, not the seat of the empire.

The United States Government is for the people of the United States not Iraq, Iran, Mexico, China, etc. It was never meant to be and never can be.


And as for the part about to many people having a say in what is going on is that not the whole idea? If not who decides who gets to speak?

Put out all the ideas, sane and crazy and see which ones will work

We are in full agreement about the UN, but sometimes it seems they take their sweet @$$ time while people die, there should be a multi-national force, but it should act immediately when outlaw regimes begin brutal meaningless killing. But I am with you that it should not be OUR job alone, like I said, it should be all decent, civil nations.

I guess you're right about the ideas issue, it's just that sometimes people post ignorant, hateful garbage they can't possibly be serious about. It gets frustrating when people make a mockery out of a real discussion. But I guess it's not my place to decide who can or cannot speak out.
