War in Iraq.
Do you realize how much money is wasted each day we are in Iraq. 255 million dollars is wasted every single day we are in Iraq. Since we've been in this war we have wasted a quarter of a trillion dollars. Do you realize how many people are homeless in America? Approximately 2.5 - 3.5 million people in these United States are homeless. Do you realize how many Americans do not receive any form of Health care? 46 million Americans do not receive health care. Wouldn't it be much more worth it to take care of our own people before taking on the responsibility to "bring democracy" to Iraq? Imagine if we took a quarter of a trillion dollars and used it for our people? Imagine how many hungry stomachs that would fill. Imagine how many people wouldn't have to choose between eating or getting their medicine. Just imagine. Just sit and think of all the many better things that money could be used for. And why is it we are trying to demand democracy to take over in Iraq anyway? Even our own Allies have communistic views. Do you know haw many products that we have made over in China? China enjoyed a US $256.3 billion trade surplus with its American trade partner in 2007. China is a communist country. So why do we support their economy if we are against it? Why is it that we say that we are liberating the Iraqi people from communist rule and anti-humanitarianism and yet we turn the other cheek when we hear that Saudi Arabia our other ally is going to lash a woman in her 70's and imprison her just for a small thing as of a man bringing her loafs of bread to eat and a not having a male relative in the house when it happened? Why is it that women in Saudi Arabia would be risking their very lives if they were to just drive down the street in a car? And yet, we do absolutely nothing. Why is all this my friends? Because we are a greedy nation. We are quick to jump on the thought of "helping" people if we are to gain something. Strange isn't it on how Saudi Arabia is one of our main people to gain oil from and China we get manufactured goods for such low prices isn't it. Strange how there is oil in Iraq too, isn't it? Just a lot of strange things and unanswered questions.
