Yes, there was 9/11. Yes, I was infuriated and ready to join the military. But, then came Iraq…. they didn’t even attack us and yet we attacked them. Really out of cowardice that they might attack us some day. There were a lot of reasons, but that is what it comes down to, cowardice.
This is why I object to our military spending on these wars. As of 2007, there are about 138 million taxpayers in the United States.[22] The wars have cost $1.3 Trillion. (http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL33110.pdf)
So if you asked each taxpayer, should we each pay $9420 so that we can spread democracy in some shitty little country that doesn’t like us anyway, what might they say. My guess is that they would say, “No. There are better ways to accomplish our goals.”
After paying $9240 each for these two wars. Are we better off today? Are we safer today? So now the terrorists aren’t going to attack us any more? Are we more likely to be attacked now or less likely?
