The United States far in debt and we continue to give away billions yearly in foreigh aid.

It seems as though our military is always fighting someone else's fight.

Why not have our Military take the Blackwater approach?
Iraq would have taken over Kuwait and all their oil if it was not for our
Military. We spent Billions to defeat Iraq in the first Gulf war and as far
as I know we did not get a nickle from Kuwait.

We should have made a deal with Kuwait before we when into defend them.
We should have gotten some sort of oil deal for the people of the united
states who cannot afford to pay for oil.

I am not talking about charging Darfur. I am taking about charging Kuwait.
If a rich country needs our Military support and we feel it is the right thing
to do, we should charge them for our Military support and give the profits
to the people of our country that need the help the most.

Is this against the constitution?
The supreme court spins the constitution to fit their beliefs.
If it is going to help the poor .... why not?

We would never take a job which we did not support.

Because that would make us the United States of America, Inc. and the day that happens, I'll take up arms in a revolution myself...and I don't even own a gun.

Wildo7

we already do that. It's called no bid contracts.

IcyPatriot

You're right Wildo ...

IcyPatriot

We already do this ... send our people while rich people line their pockets with the payback.

And unfortunately the poor man trying to better his lot in life joins the military because it's the best option and he ends up fighting the rich man's war

So we should risk American lifes to save a rich nation like Kuwait and
they don't have to pay us one penny.

We then put out their oil well fires so that they can charge us
top dollar for their oil.

I think we should have gotten a few oil wells for our trouble.

MrBigglesWorth

very true. we shouldn;t have been there in the first place

We typically don't help countries fight wars UNLESS we have something to gain if we do or lose if we don't. Of course we've had something to gain from helping any country in the middle east. That is called "Stabilty".

Ever notice how we never send troops to African or South American countries to help out? Name one country we've helped defend since WWII where we didn't have something to gain.

America will be no longer if we become a business unit. I will hate her if she ever does that and I will fight not to let that happen.

You need to ask yourself if you think "Business & Money" are the most important things on earth. Once you realize they are not, then you'll understand what I'm saying. We can't EVER let corporations become a part of government or allow them to become more important than American's themselves.

That is why there needs to be a world police and if we are to supply weapons to them, then the world will have to pay us. That's the only way this can work. Otherwise those countries who can't afford freedom will never have it...and that's wrong.
