North Korea would be dangerous if someone gave them the means to be, but even the Chinese think they're crazy so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Putin is a communist wannabe and Chavez is a communist - in a country that doesn't pose much of a threat. The latter two are mostly windbags without much shot at accomplishing any of their potentially anti-US goals.

Wow. Tell me, what do you know of the American Revolution? The American middle class was tiny during and directly after the Revolution - confined to artisans and shopowners in the cities. Besides that there were the wealthy merchants and the overwhelming majority, the poor, uneducated farmers.




Be realistic. If all we were hung up on was their safety they wouldn't be "soldiers," would they? The question is whether the mission is worth the sacrifice, and saying it isn't is demeaning to those who believed it was and gave their lives for it, and also gives a morale boost to the people who continue to kill our troops as they near completion of their goal - driving us out of Iraq.


While I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the majority of the Iraqi people wanted us gone these days, I would be surprised if the majority of the Iraqi people want the people currently responsible for murdering civilians and our troops to take over once we're gone. Your thoughts?
