Well, I never said people were for the war on terrorism, just the Vietnam war when it first started. But, since you bring it up, ALOT more people (many liberals included, *cough cough* Hillary *cough*) we're for the war on terrorism when it started then are now.thunderdrmz wrote:I'm not sure what your implication is with this one. Our major economic problem is due to greed of the comsumers and mortgage industry thinking that buying a house will make you fabulouly wealthy with a 500% increase in value over the next 6 months. When that bubble burst (we are in the splatter right now) consumers had to pay the piper, which they couldn't whick in turn has a huge hit on the lending market and the spiral begins. This is hardly a partisan issue.The Aceman wrote: Funny, when Clinton was in office the Economy was booming, oh well.
I also disagree in that, at least at first, a good percentage of the US population were in favor of "getting the terrorists". Well, we have a better understanding of realities and not many people can convincingly make an arguement for the strategy used in this conflict but, as you mentioed regarding Viet Nam, in the beginning it made more sence.
Very few people are in favor of armed conflict to resolve issues. There are those who believe talking is the way to go so can all just understand each other. I am not one of those people. We have had egg on our face far too often in trying to resolve issue through negotiations only to have these "pacts" broken when they no longer benefit the other guy.
Maybe I need to sing Kumbayaa or wear less tight underwear. I don't know. Maybe I'm right about people
