The spending orgy and going back on nation building is what broke faith with me.

Sorry,but something happened on 9/11/01 that kind of changed the outlook on nation building.

Gunslingr - You use the term "spending orgy". Can you tell me what the most money went to that you disagree with or is that just "bash-Bush" terminology? I know you understand 9/11 and Katrina has added billions to your "spending orgy" but what else.....other than the WOT?

No other man could have led this country post 9/11 - we would have crumbled for a while if not for his leadership. If you dare, and can take an open mind, go to President Bush's words from 9/11 A good reminder.

I love the circular logic of the White Man's Burden. "We put troops over there, so they attack us, so we put troops over there because they attacked us..."

If they were spending it on nation building and warfare, we wouldn't have an issue. They're spendin' it at home on pork.

So independent terrorists that have no national soil justify the expenditure of 400 million dollars from the United States treasury? Terrorists that could of been dealt with in a matter of hours? I do not think so; Nor would Reagan.
