400 billion... that's almost what the tobacco industry brings in... that's almost what oil and gas companies bring in...
it's all a matter of how much it will cost to build our pipeline in the mideast, and how much we will make each day as a result.
if it costs 20 million a day to have troops there, but we make 40 million each day in oil... that's good business.
of course i'm joking... we all know that bush should just drill for oil in the US national parks.

if it takes more money to keep our troops safe, then so be it. wars help the economy as well (although i really _dont_ like to think of it like that, but whatever. none of us are experts in this field like some of the people in office are.
while we like to "sit back" and feel "elite" the point in the matter is, we are not educated in the same fields as these people.
you have to understand that we are not all part of the same compost heap.
rebuilding a country is no picnic
and quite frankly, im glad we didnt just basically destroy their country and then get out of there.
im glad we are sticking to the plan, even if the costs are high.
i am only 20 years old.
i have neither the education nor the experience of a past war to really offer an opinion over whether or not this is the right thing for the world.
i can only hope that the elder and properly "educated" (ahh, gonna catch flack for that quote), know what they are doing and are in it for the long run.

that's not what i meant.
ahh, i can't type this out. i can't express into text.
i'm not saying let bush do whatever he wants,
nm, ill let equilibrium take its course, and trust the old physics of the world.

plaid, no comment on that dribble. does not provoke any thought.
disregarded.
i dunno, ifkardo, i just talk to al ot of people from that country who came to this country, and i feel better with all this going on after letting them speak their minds.
i go to school with a lot of people from there as well.
although sadly, one guy asked "what is a democracy," even as we were bombing his country :'(
