The problem is that Iran must be dealt with....Iraq didnt need to be dealt with
However, so does North Korea and Pakistan and India....with regards to their nuclear technologies and weapons and the sale of information, parts and radioactive material.
The problem is that Taiwan and other flash poins need to be addressed too!
The problem is that we have a huge open southern border that remains unpoliced for gangs, weapons, drugs, immigrants and anything else...
The problem is that we have a large percentage of our military capital now in either unusable condition or in maintenance, our soldiers and reserves over-stretched, our veterans underfunded and our national debt is ballooning as this war is completely off budget.
We cannot focus our attention on all the places in the world deserving our our attention and national interests because of Iraq and Afghanistan!
Furthermore, to pay for his war cuts will be proposed in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans and various other programs....but why do seniors, the poor and the disabled have to sacrifice when there are no cuts proposed to foreign aid...or foreign wars....
So I find it particularly distrustful when a foreign nation and AIPAC members demonstate a stronger patriotism to Israel than to the US....we need to act in the interests of the US....not in the interests of Israel or friends of Israel.
No german american, italian american, polish american, african american, etc would dare dictate US foreign policy or spy on the US ....why should it be any different for jewish americans
Lastly, my heart goes out to every dead and disabled member of our armed services....I just wish they knew what country they actually sacrificed their life and limb...and I wish their families knew what countries flag they should actually be wrapping themselves in.
