Agree - to what benefit? When I went to the gulf the first time, we knew it was oil, I mean, who even really knew about Kuwait at the time?

We have plenty of both here, so I just don't see why we put American's in harms way for either. We need the jobs here anyway.

Payback for 911 was a good enough reason to hit Astan and Iraq, but why are we still there? Kick their butt, get our folks home. When they rise up again, kick their butt again (if necessary). I don't know for sure, just saying it's better than thinking we can put a McDonalds, Wallmart, and Krispy Creme up and they'll magically fall in love with the American Dream.

Heck, we have plenty of folks here trying to kill the American Dream as it is...

Just my 2 cents - and another reason why America is still the greatest country on earth, cause we can have an opinion and we can voice it!
