Uh, i think of you're exaggerating. Our government isn't probable killing voters. enable's no longer get so dramatic. voters kill different voters with the aid of the thousands every day, so enable's no longer get all righteous relating to the sanctitiy of a citizen's existence. The Bush government isn't terrific, in spite of the undeniable fact that it is not tearing the rustic aside or going around kidnapping or assassinating voters. certainly, take out the conflict and the rustic has on no account been extra helpful. i comprehend you could no longer ignore relating to the conflict, i'm merely putting it into attitude. different than the conflict, there is relatively no longer something incorrect with the rustic (no longer something that hasn't been incorrect for a protracted time, besides). The financial gadget is extra helpful than it became under Clinton. Unemployment is under Clinton's became. The deficit has come into line, now under it became in 1972 once you account for time. So, i do no longer think of we are on the precipice of the apocalypse.

Our country has done this often over the years. We are opportunists in this way. L:ook at all the CIA stuff over the years. We have supported many bad people to defeat who we thought were other bad people. For instance...right now in Afghanistan...we are financing drug running warlords so that they will help support us in the tribal areas of Afghanistan. Because their main source of income is opium poppies. Its just what we do.

Answer 4

We have no creditability in the world because our words and actions always do not match. Saddam is not a saint and no dictator is ever going to be a saint but does that mean that we will go where ever we please to bring justice to the people of the world? Our intentions are not always holy and the world is fully aware of it. It's time that America learns use its strength wisely.
