No..
Thrawn, I’m a Free Trader Capitalist so my views are a bit radical. I believe the U.S. and international community should lift sanctions on everybody. Cuba, N. Korea Libya, Iran, Iraq The whole kitten kabutual. It makes bad business sense.
I also believe war is a group think form of mental illness. To use war as the first option is well--- madness. And being an American, we have a Constitution that forbids war except in case of self defense. The framers didn’t mean a threat down the road they meant self defense as in the enemy is already approaching our shores. Also, we have three separate branches of government that form the foundations of Democracy. These are the checks and balances so that one branch does not usurp the other two. Congress is not merely “consulted” regarding war, they have a duty to either vote for a declaration or a vote to support the Executive branch otherwise what do you have?... It sure ain’t Democracy.
In the past we American’s have gone to war for noble purposes. We may die so others may walk free. This is the spin the government is trying to pass off to the masses in the case of Iraq. It’s simply not true as the Washington Post article points out and other articles I’ve read. The President intends to plunder another countries natural resources. He intends to use said natural resources as a blackmail bargaining chip to get other countries support. He doesn’t care in the least how many innocent civilians have to die in bombing raids or for that matter how many working class families have to loose their sons in house to house street to street combat.
That my friend is the most un-noble dishonorable, and un-American reasons of all.
