Keep An Eye On Your Neighbor.

Hey, how about that. We're going for the record. This makes three wars at once. I'm not sure if we need to get into another one to set a new record or not. One thing I am sure of is that we don't need another one. We don't need the three we're in now. How did we get where we're at, anyway? I mean, how did we tick that many people off that we had to get into three fights at the same time? Not even Bruce Lee would have picked this many fights all at once. Let's face it, we're not too bright at times. Now I understand how we got into Afghanistan to start with and if we had paid better attention to it, we would have been out of there long ago. But we didn't pay attention. We got all rapped up in going after WMDs that didn't exist and that we new didn't exist. Sure Saddam was a bad guy, but who made him that way. Well, we had a part in it. We supplied him with the wear-with-all to kill thousands of Iranians and his own people as well. Then we sort of gave him the impression it would be okay to invade Kuwait. And if we didn't need middle-east oil so much, none of it would have mattered enough to get involved anyway. Now we're getting sucked into another war. Don't get me wrong, this Qhadafy is one of the bad guys. But we only seem to go after bad guys in the middle-east. Anywhere else and it's "not in the best interests of our country".  Mark my words, even though we keep repeating that we won't go into Libya. No "boots on the ground". Just you wait. The only thing that'll stop us is the need for the draft. Our military is stretched so thin that the only way we can get drawn further into this third war is to re institute the draft. That'll put the fear of God into the hearts of congress and the administration. You wanna see every single member of congress get thrown out of office and the president too? Let em bring back the draft. But they'll walk right up to that line in the sand. They're going to keep using missiles and drones and ships and planes and everything they can without needing  the big D. Wars are the rich mans way of ending a recession. Rich people get richer off wars. Of course, they pretty much get richer off everything that happens, but they expecially like wars because it's hard to find out about the graft when there's lots of action in the news. Anyway, I hope you don't have to fight. Except maybe with your neighbor.
