They'll stand because they have no choice.

Curious..

Exactly how much money was personally taken out of your wallet or bank account?

How much more money was taken from you personally that wouldnt have otherwise been taken if there wasnt a war?

thats not answering my question.

I'll pose it to you as well

How much less money do you PERSONALLY have then you otherwise would have?
How much more money was taken from you PERSONALLY then otherwise would have?

And Deficit spending is common.
I bet you do it too.

In fact. Anyone with a mortgage is a deficit spender

The answer is... ask us again in 30 years.

Travolta had it right in Swordfish;

"Anyone who impinges on America's freedom. Terrorist states, Stanley. Someone must bring their war to them. They bomb a church, we bomb 10. They hijack a plane, we take out an airport. They execute American tourist, we tactically nuke an entire city. Our job is to make terrorism so horrific that is becomes unthinkable to attack Americans."

Playing nice with them does not work.

thankfully, what Kacinich wants is irrelevant. wiser heads will prevail in both parties.

Dred, what you don't understand is we went to war on a credit card. The bill is gonna come due, but in the mean time interest keeps running up.

I didn't mention anything about the war. You assumed that's what I meant.

We've run a (Budget) deficit since before WWII

Exactly when is this bill going to come due? And to whom? Ourselves?
As that is where the largest portion of our deficit is.
All the more reason to privatize SS.
So the Government cant borrow from it.

I don't think the war in Iraq "created" any more terrorists than where allready there or elsewhere. Many of the insurgants in Iraq have been FOREIGN FIGHTERS....not Iraqis. This fueld by help from Iran and Syria. The truth is we've killed a heck of alot more of them then they have of us. All that does though is get spun to make us the monsters.

"Little abdula was such a good boy, he could never have been a terrorists" That's all their media has to report and then there is sympothy towards the plight of him thinking the US killed an innocent kid. This not knowing that he might have strapped a bomb to himself and planned on blowing up a market full of woman and children. Our enemys have done a better job than us fighting the media/propaganda war. IMHO it's not our actions that have fueld the insurgancy but our inactions. It doesn't help that the US media is a bunch of tools easily duped by anyone that shares their political leanings.

In that context its kinda hard to assume anything else.
But ok
Omit the war and insert whatever it is your talking about.
whatever that may be.

Exactly how much money was taken from you personally that otherwise would not have been taken?
