yes i would nuke the banana republic if they cut off banana's "if" the following criteria was met
1. our cars, trucks, powerplants, railroads and power production burned banana's instead of oil!
2. the banana dictator was terrorizing, raping, and killing millions of innocent people
3. he was harboring banana terrorists
4. he was working on a banana bomb
5. if some of his associates tried to fly a banana into a building here in the states, (actually even if i thought he was)
but sadly we ain't talking about banana's
speaking of ron reagan and the hostage's
he didn't sell anyone even a slingshot, they turned the hostages back over to us
because they were afraid of what a real president might do!
yes he did bankrupt the soviets by escalating the arms race, and good on him for doing so!
was he perfect? no!
was jimmy carter a bad man? no! he was an honest man that got into office at a bad time and was well above his pay grade
and experience,, thats all.
nafta and all that:
i have no idea all the rationale behind that decision, but given the fact that the european's were getting together
it seems reasonable the north american's needed to do something in order to compete.
maybe it hasn't worked out so well?
we will always have war, bad leaders/good leaders and most somewhere inbetween.
its just the nature of man to make war, or join into one for all sorts of reasons
some of which we likely will never know all the reasons for.
i know one thing for sure,, i rather have them fought somewhere else
and look out any crackpot that thinks he is coming into this country to take it land and people.
i doubt seriously it will ever happen as such,, and if so,,, hopefully for our sakes it starts someplace like texas!
where everyone owns at least one legal weapon, and probably can pull themselves away from a trap shoot long enough
to break something more than clay pidgeons.
we have been seriously in debt before, and pulled it out just fine in short order
and i have little doubt we can do it again,,, only to go back into debt saving some other poor guys ass
when the need arrises.
in my thinking this war makes far more sense than some of the previous engagement we have been envolved in.
it ain't nice, but sometimes it is necessary
