In the past, when the U.S. acted in a "Police Operation" elsewhere in the World, we entered into an armed conflict, or war. Viet Nam being a conflict, and others designated as a war. Now, if we are not to do anything, sending troops, being the Police etc, then why worry? They weren't worrying about what was going on here with our laws and government applying to the Citizens (not those here visiting, or here illegally). If they had, they'd be sending oil money here to provide the health insurance so many need, and can't afford, or they would be feeding OUR hungry, or providing homes for OUR homeless. I too am tired of spending OUR money for THEM, whether it be a war, conflict, bailing them out of financial hardships, or just plain saving from the government they have lived under for years. If they don't like it, let them do like they do around here, illegally cross the border to go someplace else (but NOT to the U.S.). I did not agree with the Viet Nam issue, and could have easily gone to Canada, but did not, I stayed, and did what I was expected to do. MANY others have done the same. We will continue to answer the call of our Country for a few more generations, unless we get stretched too thin, and can't protect our actual Home Front, and that is where we are headed. The troops pulling out of Iraq, are either moving into the country side, or going to Afghanistan, but not many back here. I guess I should have stopped off at Waco on my way to Hearne, and got my meds at the V.A., and maybe I would not be so forward in my thoughts, but until you have shared what many of us have, you just can't fully understand why we would rather stay close to home. It could happen here at any time, and with the main thoughts of the multitudes in the U.S., we will be mowed down, and never out up a fight. There will be many who say they will, until they learn there is a law someplace the forbids it, or someone tells them it is not right. A few will give their lives believing in what they think is right, and for their fellow man, but for the most part, the rest will stand around wringing their hands, asking what happened, and what will happen. If the so called videos and news coming out of Iran are correct, at least the majority of the people there have put up a fight, and are still doing it. They may well just win, but if we or another nation with our past interferes, they will probably lose in the long run, after we lose many of ours...
