I still hate...

I disagree on one point, isolationism is a horrible policy. I don't mean that we should just look after our own home and not care about our neighbors. That was our policy after WW1 when peopl cried out that we had no business getting involved. That's why america did not get fully involved in WW2 until pearl harbor and then we only declared war on the empire of Japan, the war against the Nazi's didn't fully start until 1943, a full 4 years since the war officially began and 7 years after Hitler's reign of terror began.

Also one point is that Mad is correct, there is no bigger business than the machine of war. FDR's alphabet soup programs helped us ease out of the great depression slowly but it wasn't until the war and after the war that we fully got out of it. Plus the whole boom of the 50's which carried this nation into unseen prosperity was a direct result of the great War.

So war is not strictly a "in the goverments" pocket deal, while the goverment does see a great deal of prosperity, so do the people of that country.

I question the recent "wars" which are being fought on a small kernel of truth and spending ungodly amounts of money for others prosperity while our country is suffering. I am not only speaking of the homeless and the economic droughts but we are just a mess, we need reforms here and not in iraq. Plus Bush needs to quit the whole act as if he is on a mission from God and has his backing, this is not the crusades.

Bush made a good speech during his state of the union on all his plans and reforms but most of them either fell through or recieved a small percentage of monies he promised, mostly due to him caving to senators from his home state of texas.
