No doubt, World War II improved our economy!
How's it going to turn anything into glass?
They haven't declared they have nuclear weapons...just hints and veiled threats. How'd that work out for Saddam?
So, our military industrial complex is a rented mule...ok...first you disagree with it now you're all in. Make up your mind.
If they want to quench their bloodlust...Let THEM do it. They don't need us if they're so bad. What are we now...their big brother? They can mouth off to the neighborhood bullies because we're sitting on the stoop waiting for someone to swing at them? Cut them loose.
You want to fix our economy? END THE FOREIGN AID! Especially to Israel. What are we getting in return for decades worth of trillions? Hand cream?
