Spending $15 billion a month ($180 billion a year) to win an almost pointless war still doesn’t make sense—even if you are ‘winning.’ We could be energy independent in 5 years at that price and make Opec and the Middle East irrelevent. /sigh.

Pointless war?

You mean the one where we haven’t had a domestic attack in 7 years? Including the Alaska pipeline?

Or the one that stopped the corrupt oil-for-food program?

Or the one that kept nuclear weapons out of Iraq’s hands and in all likelihood averted a far bigger war which would have otherwise sapped all domestic sources of oil?

You sound like a typical LEFT WING LIBERTARIAN!! That is why I left the party -- they wanted to be isolatationists. Sorry, look at history.

The LP has lots of good ideas domestically (less government), but that is why I'm a member of the LIBERTARIAN REPUBLICANS. If you want to help elect Barak, why not vote for him, Barr is an open boder type and I want a fence (truthfully I want a 2 mile wide mine field on the border.)
