If you don't think this war is for profit at the expenses of our soldiers you are utterly naive.

A "private security" guard makes U$600.00 a day, while a soldier (one of us) makes barely 40K a year.

Think about this, do you think there are more terrorist now or before we invaded Iraq?

Exactly, so now we basically have perpetuated easily 20 more years of hate towards us.

Yet, we feel good for a burned up boy that we helped restore his face

WRONG

We actually helped him get burned in the first place.

Yet the pain and suffering that young boy has gone though is probably greater than anything any of us will ever experience.

Peace for all, that's the only chance.

Not if we can defeat this country or that country.

How many more people have to die for we to get it?

Well then why were they planning to go to Iraq before 9/11 even happened?

Because a Tomahawk missile cost 1.3 Million dollar to make.

Guess how many of those we have used?

You guys don't think that Lockheed, Exxon, Halliburton are just loving this war?

And the end result of this logic is that Global Warming STILL comes. Sorry, but it's time for the candidates to step up and take all of the world's problems by the horns. You don't think the job of a politician is merely to declare and end war is it?

The job of the military is to PROTECT. Not to ATTACK.

The military is here to PROTECT, not to ATTACK.

Seriously, Did Iraq do anything to you?

14/19 - 9/11 Hijackers were Saudis....

And now he wants to invade Iran...

The notion of pre-emptive war is absurd.

In case you're wondering, i'm aware of Ron's agenda, and while his efforts are commendable, he's still ignoring or simply unaware of Global Warming and Peak Oil. Have any of the candidates even mentioned these things? CaptHawkeye

Global warming on a Nuclear Meltdown come quicker.

Peace is the only answer.

The ONLY one, is Peace!
