I just received this email from a friend and I post this as a user and understand that the crew/board unless noted with the ThankYou Bot does not agree with what this quote reflects. Although, I do feel very much the way this quote reads!

But in a total; what a sad reading. I'm sorry KC but this would turn your president into a very small (? the opposite to great I mean) person. Quote:
For God's sake, if US would only stay in the USA many would applause that. Then USA has taken part in many good, and very good, actions too. Things are complicated, money dirty and politics is most often mirroring the human collective at the poor stage of our development. I see no easy solutions but getting childish and more narrowminded can't be the way. |

As for Mr. Bush.... I didn't like his father and I don't like him. I don't agree with us going into Iraq when we did, but I do think it's time to come home. Furthermore, I do feel we need to focus more on USA issues. Starting next year my kids will not have PE, Art or Music due to a lack of state & federal funding but we can spend how much over there and other places to help out. :blink: |
This is definite small town stuff. It's a big time joke. Get serious!

I agree with some of the original post. On the other hand, no one can say what the world would be like if the US wasn't involved as much as it is. If we go isolationist, then people would say "Why doesn't the richest country in the world give a poopie about the poor countries, such as in Africa."
I guess what I'm saying is that I wish we would do more of the humanitarian stuff and stay out of the political realm a bit more. But I suppose they go hand-in-hand. |
The only thing I would add to that speech is, "Find someone else to buy your products."

King Cobra, speed reading and hasty replies don't go well together. Sorry.
I served 7 years in the US Military. My kids are in Italy and Texas and are also disillusioned with US politics. I spent my career working as an exaptriate in several foreign countries. Everywhere I've been during the past 25 years as an expat and observer has shown me examples of how provincial US politicians are and how short sighted they are when it comes to planning for the future of our grand children. And now with the Iraq thing the powers at large are trying to export USA style democracy (they say) to a part of the world which has never operated under that kind of system--and is unlikely to adopt it any time soon. The US had no business going there as an independant policeman without a mandate. I don't think this has much to do with helping poor nations--this is politics. |
