Point 1. Even the War of 1812?
Point 2. I am also. But when something like the holocaust occurs we let it go?
If we were not in Iraq right now, I am convinced that we would be doing more in Africa. This is very difficult. Innoncent people being slaughtered just does not sit well with me. The world is not as big a place as it used to be... events in what seem like a remote place has more of an effect on the world as a whole than it ever has.
And also: Was going into Afghanistan a mistake also? Think back to what was going on when we decided to go into Afghanistan.
At that time, was it a mistake? Because if it was, you are one of the
very few people in Western Civilization that believed this.
And lastly: I apologize for prodding discussion. I just like to know what people think. It helps me get a better picture of how people feel and I learn something.
