The resources spent in Iraq will and are seriously damaging this country and the world is the problem. Because of the money being spent in Iraq, we CAN'T do anything about Iran or N. Korea like we should. We just don't have the money for it. Like I've been saying, we do need to be the world police in some situations, and N. Korea and Iran would be those situations, but because of our fuckup in Iraq, we may have blown it all. The problem is, many Americans still buy into Bush's lies, as is blatant from many of the posts in this thread alone.
My problem, which you guys don't seem to be grasping, is this; yes, the world will hate us either way, but why spend 600 BILLION $$$ to destroy and then rebuild Iraq, when we should have been dealing with other nations that are a true threat? If they're going to hate us either way on something like Iraq, why spend the lives and money? Why not just save the American lives, the Iraqi lives, and the Money, and stay out? Had we been smart and stayed out of Iraq, then we'd have a full military force and full resources to deal with Iran and N. Korea as needed.
Simply put:
How can you justify letting nuclear threats thrive so we can throw our money in the toilet?
