I have come to the conclusion that many posts are bait based merely to pull somebodies/anybodies string!!!
In addition many are contrarian just on principle....agree with no one and always promote an opposite where possible....similar to baiting.
Opinions and beliefs are one matter. And we can/should all be able to tolerate another's position....I did not say like or support it.
Much of the above is why the political forum does not exist today.
Many of our world's situations defy logic.
Like remaining dependent on foreign oil when we have the resources domestically.
Not actively, aggressively pursuing energy independence. The jobs impact would be stagerring.
Continuous monetary support for governments that dislike the USA and it's people.
The USA cannot buy it's way or talk it's way into being popular or respected. Most froeign countries respect action and results....not just a wave of the check book.
And so on. Far too many of the positions taken in world events unfortunately require the USA to do for others what it is not doing for it's own people. It is called politics. That which is not dependent on any one issue like oil for example.
Many like to state we are not dependent on foreign oil. If this were true then why does the price of oil spike for the least threatening interruption of that foreign supply?
Does anyone except me wonder why the terrorist who are bent on our destruction do not attack the oil supply lines from the mideast? Hint: Muslim impact!!
I do enjoy a good discussion and even a little jousting on the many subjects of world affairs. However it is time to go to something lighterand not so stuck in a rut!
