Wars and Rumors of War

Here we go again sticking our noses in where they do not belong. First Libya, then Egypt, and now Syria and then later on Iran.  When does it end?  When will the world stop depending on the USA to be the world's policeman?  And when will the world help pay for the work the USA does in doing so?

When we went to Iraq, the liberal crazies said we were going for the oil.  Where did it go?  Certainly not to the USA.  We've spent billions of dollars there and have not even been given gratitude, much less recompense.

We spent, and are still spending, millions of dollars in Libya.  For what purpose? And now the Islamic Brotherhood will take over.  It is an aggressive anti-American organization.  Our national leaders seem pretty pleased with themselves to let anti-American despots rule nations.

Our war in Afganistan is a legal war, but we don't fight it.  Instead we play at it, trying to create good will out of extreme hate.  I said from the beginning, we should invite the good world citizens out of Afganistan and then turn it into a sea of glass.  Then these terrorists will understand that we indeed mean what we say.  We don't need to be pernicious about it, just set our collective jaw and get down to business.  I just can't stand the political correctness of our current noodle spined leaders. We need to kill the evil in order for the good to prosper.

And now Egypt.  Egypt's new Islamic Brotherhood leaders are trying to blackmail the USA.  And we are likely to capitulate.  WHY?  They don't like us, the will never like us.  But, we'll continue to try to buy their friendship.  It won't work.  It never has worked.  We spend money we don't have, giving money to those who will not appreciate it, to help those who will never see it.

Now we'll send in "advisors" to help the Syrian rebels.  I say KEEP OUT!  We have no business there.  We have no national interest there.  There is no national threat there.

What about Iran?  We do have a national interest there because Iran is a self-proclaimed and vocal sponsor of terrorism against civilized nations.  They publicly advocate the destruction of Israel and the United States.  We have treated the populace in Iran badly in the past when citizens wanted to overthrow the current Islamic despotic government.  We gave promises and then left them flat.  We need to stop messing around and do what we already know needs to be done.  Defend ourselves against these loud mouth despots aggressively, decisively, and immediately.  

I guess this is just the natural progression of things.  We spent millions of dollars defending Europe during two world wars.  The people of Europe are not grateful.  They would still rather our people not interact with them.  We see that every time we visit.  We never asked anything in return for liberating Europe except a place to bury our dead.   However, we don't even get that much from these middle east countries.

We are the stepchildren of the world, whom the world despises, and whom the world would rather not exist except when it needs help.  The people of the USA are the most generous people in the world.  We donate liberally each time a natural disaster happens.  Our churches and charities are the first to assist.  And we do it without guile.  We ask nothing in return except perhaps a kind smile now and then.  I know of no other nation that does as much.
