Good morning, Joe.
Maybe this can be discussion fodder: Over the past few weeks, we have seen a dramatic and unprecedented display by people in the Middle East, rising up to not only voice concerns about thier oppresive governments, but also successfully overthrowing said oppressors and forging a new future and identity for themselves (it is only a matter of time in Lybia.)
Our military is in several countries in that area for many reasons, but in part to help the people forge their own political futures and identities.
I think the people of the Middle East are clearly showing us that they are fully capable of taking care of thier own countries and dispatching the enemies of freedom and democracy without any help other than media coverage.
So, why don't we just leave and get out of their way?
I agree 100%
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should not be in those countries.
ReplyDeleteSome argue that we did not invade Iraq, the regime would have falled naturally.
One thing to keep in mind is that we have no idea what will happen next. Was Hosni Mubarak an opressor, maybe, but what will happen if Muslim Brotherhood will take over Egypt?
The combustion engine is the only reason we give a darn.
