We have to die someday, wouldn't it be better to have done so fighting for freedom, instead of sitting at home and whining about how's come nobody does nothing for US?
Agree, but in part: There's a hell of a lot of people worse off than those in North Korea and Iraq. Just take a look around Africa. Would it make the world better by bringing war to lift oppression or bringing food/medicine to lift starvation and disease? $200+ billion could have done some amazing things...
But anyway, what I dislike about the President's decisions is that he ties religion so intimately to them on issues from science to foreign policy. A moral leader is great -- just not someone who sees the world so simplistically in "black-and-white."
