[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sasquatch: [QB] :D Good job Gordo! You gave me specifics to what I was asking. Couple more questions and a personal statement. First...are there any countries that you would agree to America selling arms to? How about outdated military equipment that America does not use anymore and doesn't consider a threat? Could we sell these items to make back a little of the astronomical amount we spend on our "defense" budget? On preventative strikes...What if there WAS a slam dunk case? Would you not find the government at fault for not taking action after the fact if such an event were to take place? Does your diplomacy stance change should Iran/Syria/Lebanon/Palestine/Egypt/and Jordan all attack Israel and it looks as if the country is going to fall? At what point would it be OK in your eyes to go in and support our ally from those who have stated harmful intents toward America? It seems to me instead of an eye for an eye you are touting live and let die. I have a problem with that policy too. It's turning a blind eye to the problems of the world. I agree with you in one regard. Our own borders. we need to do a lot more on securing them. As to your oil policy...have you really considered the consequences of either of those actions? Isn't ignoring terrorist groups exactly how they came to have so much influence in the first place? If we were to ban trade for oil in middle eastern countries what would that mean at home? $8 for a gallon of gas? Any chance of protecting the Alaskan Wildlife refuge after that? Or Yellowstone park? How would our relationships with other countries that we purchase oil from change? Would they do to us what Russia did to the Ukraine and hold us hostage by withholding supplies until we swallow inflated prices out of necessity? Perhaps we would push our need for sustainable energy but if we had to pay double or triple for that which our infrastructure is currently set up for...how many other services would suffer? How will we create a national healthcare system? Where will we find the money to beef up boarder security? How will we fix social security? Where does the money come from? We already have a national debt that reaches decades into the future should we make paying it off a priority tomorrow...How long until America's economy collapses and thereby much of the worlds economy? I understand the moralistic background from which your opinions are formed but I don't find them very pragmatic in the real world. Sas [/QB][/QUOTE]
