Haveing been on "Peace Keeping" force in Beriut (1983) and loseing most of the Marines in my company (H&S 1/8) Im about as anti-world police as you can get!.....I belive we should stay home and let the world fight its own battles....but Im also aginst giveing other countries $$ (yes even Isreal). I never understood when we have a defacit, and a lot of problems here in the USA why we are going around giveing $$, and trying save the world......I belives the Tree Hugers call this being an Isolationist.

Rave: That's the tough question that's been asked by every U.S.President since F. D. Roosevelt including: Truman, Eisenhauer, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, G. Bush, Clinton, and G.W. Bush. Who did I leave out?

Seems like the U.S. policy makers think they've got to stick their noses into everyone else's affairs. When will we learn? Several of those wars (skirmishes, etc) have been going on for centuries if not thousands of years before we tried to settle things for them. Most will continue on for eternity, too, or till they wipe each other off the earth.

at the very least we should restrict ourselves to helping only those that ask for it. why are we wasting our time, money and soldiers with countries that don't want us there, and will go back to whatever it was that they were doing as soon as we leave. who gave us the the right to meddle in other peoples affairs just because we feel like it. and besides, our own affairs are much more important than some country most americans have never heard of.

I'd rather make the world American. If there's gotta be a NWO, why not just let it be us?

I believe we could beat everyone else combined. If we were geared up properly, who could touch us that wouldn't face total annihilation? Especially if we picked em off a couple at a time. I'd start with our allies, give them a choice, convert on your terms and be annexed in, or we send in the troops and do it ourselves.

Then we can pick off the poorer countries. Finally, we take on the ChiComms, the Russians, and the Middle East. We call it liberating the people from Socialist control, and we use resources from the nations that join us to fight their neighbors.

That's the way it shoulda gone after WW2. Instead, we've let all those Socialist nations come and convert us little by little. You can thank the libs.

Hold elections, and let the new states decide who they want as their representatives/governors.

I like Papa G's idea but with the forgiegn countries we could do everyone a favor and make every where a glass parking lot and auction off drilling rights to the highest bidders, I am thinking Chevron would end up with Saudi, Iraq & Iran would be known as New Texas, Afghan and pakistan would become the property of BP, and then the others could go to the smaller companies to assist in competition. Prices would fall incredibly.

As too Mexico the solution is perfect anyone caught crosing the border is shot on the spot the bodies can be buried in a mass grave in the desert I know where we can find plenty of those big yellow machines.

Howdy Jonno,

I don't think the illegals are responsible for the problems in Kali, but I do think the liberal sh**heads catetring to, and passing idiot laws for the illegals is a big part of the problem.:right:
