Some time ago, president Bush named Iraq, Iran and North Korea as "the axis of evil", although they had absolutely no connection and in fact hated each other intensly.
Bush has now sorted out his problems with Iraq and in the fullness of time, after much blood and money, he willl be getting out leaving a working democracy which should last at least six months before Islamist dictatorship is established.
With the US troops conveniently near, should we then invade the second country he named viz..Iran and establish another western style democracy there, as we are doing in Iraq, or go directly for North Korea? Or have we had enough and we should not try to be the world's policeman?
Should we now start spending our money on improving America and American lives, or on overseas wars trying to establish our version of democracy every where? You must admit it feels good to be the toughest guy in the street!
Whom should we be targeting next? Should we be targetting any body?

Why would we target any one next? For the millionth time, we did not invade Iraq. The coalition is there to Liberate it. Peace and democracy in the Middle east benefits the whole world. Get it straight.
Wars are not a popular pass time, and the US like everyone else would like to just go back home and enjoy our lives again, and focus on other issues.

You offer an intelligent, articulate question. I hope there can be a debate here without the smartass, hate-Bush crowd putting too many quips into the dialog.
Whom should we be targeting next? The next country that presents a significant threat to the United States.
In my gut, I think that will be N. Korea. Iran talks like they want to be a threat, but not to us, to Israel. Israel's threshold for suffering fools and abiding their threats is much lower then ours. They will whack Iran long before we would.
Korea on the other hand, is a prime candidate to be next. Kim Jong Il is nuts. A certifiable megalomaniac. N. Korea has an ax to grind with the United States because of the Korean War. Since the Armistice ended the fighting, but not the war, they are looking for a face-off with us. They think having nuclear weapons gives them parity with us, and allows them to hold S. Korea hostage.

ISRAEL, Israel is a loose cannon. They ordered a full scale assault on Palestine because one man was kidnapped! Would it not be better to send in a highly trained team (like SAS) who could free the man before airlifting them all out. I do not see why the world will not accept democracy, The peoples of Palestine voted in a free election for HAMAS. America doesn't recognise Cuba's government so why should Palestine recognise the israeli right to govern? After all if you look in the bible the jews had to kill thousands of muslims to take the land which was 'given' to them by God. So the argument of it being traditionally jewish land is bull.
NOT ANTI SEMETIC!!! I'M ROMAN CATHOLIC WITHA RESPECT FOR EVERY RELIGION (excluding jedi knight) AND NATION IN THE WORLD BUT DON'T SEE WHY ISRAEL SHOULD GET SPECIAL TREATMENT.
But really America should kep itself to itself, and by not going to war it could save enough money to pay up all it's debt to the UN! Iraq, as it has now been proved, was not a threat to the US.

I say - attack Britain!! we've got oil - we've even got a slimy dictator (A democratic pm listens to the people).. Go on - Make our day!!! ;) grin...
America - Leave other countries alone - unless they attack you first (when its fair to attack them). Iraq didnt attack you - they simply had oil, which is bully boy tactics... Is it really worth loosing all those men just for oil? Look after your own people - you've got people living on the street - surely 1 days money from supporting the war could fix a great many problems back home..
Stop having wars and reduce the tax bills of decent american citizens...

The anti gun marketing campaign become easily significant streamed through a republican after the tried assassination of Ronald Reagan, Sarah Brady, spouse of White abode press secretary James Brady. The liberals grabbed the priority previously Ron Reagan gained the election for a 2d time period and used it to assist rally the liberals in the course of the Clinton/ Bush election. Gun administration is easily between the polarizing topics the politicians use to deflect interest from the added major, threatening topics that would want to probably undermine the authorities. Abortion is the yet another one, Christianity in faculties, Stem cellular study etc. those themes are meant to deflect interest faraway from what's extremely incorrect with our authorities, Politicians favor to stay in means. and could subvert your uncomplicated freedoms to verify the continuation of the status quo. the corporate lap canines Conservatives do no longer favor time period limits, the grasping Lobbyists do no longer favor oversight,and the corrupt Liberals do no longer favor marketing campaign reform or transparency. the superb probability for your freedom become the so observed as Patriot act that curbed your rights to seek and seizure, freedom of speech and a myriad of alternative rights you've been taking with none interest.the superb bypass to a socialist type authorities become the republican bailout of the monetary gadget. In a real capitalist gadget the susceptible giants fall and are in turn wolfed up through the smaller in good structure agencies that provide a much better product/provider through something observed as free market. Politics boils right down to at least one question "What colour tie do yo favor the guy who will be mendacity to you for the subsequent 4 years to be wearing?" Does it extremely count number? to respond to the unique question Its no longer extremely the liberals that favor to get rid of your guns its the authorities, era. An armed guy is a citizen, an unarmed guy is a serf.

I think that we should either invade the North Shore of Maui... or the North Shore of Australia; not only is there great surfing, but we could draft every slacker at Huntington and Malibu Beaches with the promise of gnarly waves. We could also draft those teenybopper chicks from the "OC" (and every other WB teenybopper show) to provide "aid and comfort" (wink, wink) to the casualties. It's do-able!

The best way to do it is get a world map out, put a blindfold on, stick a pin somwhere on the map. Then declare war on that country!

I think we should pull our troops out of every country besides our own, stick them on the borders to pop illegals. Cut off all aid to foreign countries. Let them all blow each other to Mohamed.

Let's target world hunger and diseases with the same vigour. Have you ever experienced the horrible aspects of the invisible world? We could tackle that as well.
