Just when US troops will be sent to Georgia for yet another liberation/humanitarian mission, don’t tell nobody saw it coming. Lobbyists get money, politicians get elected, young kids get bullets. Is that clear enough?

I will take a lot of heat on this forum for suggesting that being a world’s policemen may sometime take you too far.

Specifically, we would not be invading. We would be supporting an ally. We're not a beat cop getting involved in a domestic dispute. This has implications far wider than Georgia and we either get involved now or we sit on our hands and let it fester.

Lobbyists get money, politicians get elected, young kids get bullets. Is that clear enough?

Two things are clear; you cynicism and your distinct lack of understanding of the situation.

young kids get bullets

My 'kid' commands a Stryker right now so I am intensely interested in what's going on. This stuff is not theory for me.

Thinking that terrorism is a "police matter" and the UN should put a stop to it can cause the USA to cease to exist.

9/11 brought home the fact that distance from countries that wish us to submit to their god can be breached with $.97 box cutters. How long until terrorists can vaporize 10 million Americans in a metropolitan area? We've put a serious dent in Al-queda by facing down evil. What else can we do? Submit?

We have to face down evil and oppression. We must choose our fights carefully as our friends and allies are continually picked off in the battle. Look at Spain.

Do you think this just started in the Bush administration?

Ohhhh, I get it...it's the children you're concerned about, not their future in a free society. But aren't we allowed to support our allies without being attacked as "invaders" by Marxists pretending to care about the children?

That tactic pissed out long ago, but I'm sure the Sons of Lenin thank you.
