Too lazy (and in too much of a hurry) to quote right now, so I'll just say what I have to say
First of all, yes, this has been a very civil discussion. And I sincerely hope that there are no hard feelings from anyone.
Now, about the subject. Well, it's gone on for too long, and it probably won't go anywhere, as this is what the whole world is talking about and nobody has gone anywhere with it. So I'll just state my primary concern - the policing of the world, as Prof put it. I just don't feel it's right. It may be what the world wants, but I don't think it should be like that.
Oh and I of course don't have any evidence to prove that Iraq wants the US out of their business. I should have stated that that was my opinion.
But I do have to say, on the topic of the "nanny state", I didn't mean the government should look after everybody in need. I meant that the US should first sort out their more obvious internal security issues.
And that's that..
