My God Rick,
Which rock are you living under. We share this world, with all the little Sadams in it.
I have friends and associates in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Australia, ect., When India and Pakistan was threatening to nuke each other, I was actively involve in their securities markets. The people I had contact with, were afraid for their lives. It was the few dumb-ass dictators and their agendas that was causing the threat, not them.
You must be a much younger man than I am, I too disagreed with Vietnam, but, not because we didn't belong there, but because we did a spinless half ass job. It was a waste of life with no beneficial result to mankind. With Sadam we have the tenacity to follow through, with the purpose to make this a safer world.
Maybe you should research other people in the past that shared your similar veiws. For example, Lindberg, he, like his father, (a congressman), was against our involvement in Foreign Wars, (it was none of our business), but, later after realizing how evil Hitler and his administration was, Lindberg spent the rest of his life trying to amend his error in thinking, with the american people.
I love cigars and my other hobby is world/american history. Maybe before you opinionate, you should do some research and develope a basis for you knee jerk thoughts. I have children and grand-children, I thus far have enjoy, (thanks to being an American), a good life, but, I fear for the world with the Sadams in it that they have to live with.
Regardless of our party affiliation, we are all Americans. Rick, is this not, (as Johnson said)the beauty of our "Great Society" ?? We are blessed, we are the envy of the world, because, we have what every common person in this world wishes they had.
