Get ready for another unnecessary war. And unlike Bush the fuher wont allow the up to the minute body count.

I think it should be a rule that the ones that make the decision to go to war should be forced to fight in that war. Probably be alot less wars.

Being weak will get us into more, not fewer, wars. We have not been involved in wars because we have a strong military. We get into them because we elect weak minded politicians. One also cannot look at the wars we get into based on when the "first shots" were fired. The history of EVERY war we have been involved in goes back decades, or centuries, prior to the first military action taking place. History is not a 30 second sound bite on TV. Keep electing the numb skulls we have been and NOTHING will change.

We have not been involved in wars because we have a strong military. We get into them because we elect weak minded politicians. ...

... who decide that because we have a strong military there will be no significant repercussions of an international/external nature should they decide to do a little meddling of a foreign nature ...
