I would suggest that the U.S. would be better spending a big chunk of money on rebuilding the civilian infrastructure. The previous war more or less "bombed them back to the stone age". It's long overdue to undo that.

In message 69 this phrase was used:
quote:
he was the lesser of two evils
This is unfortunately a common situation, for the U.S. to find the need to support the lesser of two evils. Then, somewhere down the road, the lesser becomes a "greater evil".
Quickly added by edit - So, in the current war, is the U.S. the lesser of the two evils? - end edit.

Cranky Moose note
Last November I posted a notably controversion statement in the "State sponsored terrorism" topic.
I am VERY slowly putting together my grand concluding statement for that topic, but for right now, I must say that I still stand behind my feelings posted there. My views may even have come to be even more extreme.
