I agree. Besides, isn't the US in a state of depression already? And when countries go to war, don't they usually tend to come out into a depression? Our economy's been suffering for as long as I know, and we need to spend less on foreign expenditures and more on feeding the hungry and housing the homeless.[/QUOTE]You'll be suprised how little the USA really spends on keeping alive those people if you compare it to the amount of money now spend to kill them all the future. Most European countries, especially from the EU, spend way more then the USA on charity and the development of third world countries, relative to the money they get from taxes etc.
