...or is it still beginning?
Cuts, cuts, cuts in the budget for anything for the people of the US, but "Millions for Defense...?"
How does sending millions and millions to Iraq and Afghanistan defend me? Keeping the terrorists away? Stopping construction of WMD's? Spreading democracy? What about Darfur?
What if other people don't want democracy? If we are a country that believes in freedom of choice, how can we put our standards on others? Especially, if they are not ready for it? More of the "missionary position" mentioned in a previous post?
How can we demand that others believe in what we do? Or, impose our values on others? What if they are not ready for it yet? What if they have other things they believe to be more important? What has given us the right to be the big daddy of everyone? Our WMD's? Because we say so?
Why is no one in this country asking questions? Why is everyone so afraid of the prevailing winds in this country? Why can't anyone have a dissenting voice? Where are the marches, the protests, the loud voices? Is everyone just afraid to say anything that they believe might upset the powers that be? Are we headed for a new revolution? Peaceful change? Violence?
just asking...
