much better.

i agree with your sentiment, something needs to be done, but the united states is stretched thin, militarily. it's gotten so bad that the army is involuntarily recalling deactivated troops, some after 3 years of deactivation, and they're begging air force and navy personnell to switch over to green army uniforms when their service is done.

our country has become the number one defender of other countries, but in doing so, it has left one crucial country behind. the United States. our interstate highways and utility infrastructures are crumbling, our schools are in dilapidated conditions, and crime rules the streets in many areas.

as much as the rest of the world needs us, we need our troops even more at home.

the political implications of our occupation in the middle east are another reasoning for the disregard of other areas of terrorist hotbeds. if saudi money funded terrorist attacks and a majority of the hijackers who crashed planes were saudi, why aren't we in saudi arabia right now? but i digress...

sudan has turned into another rawanda, another bosnia, and the world, as a whole, needs to do something. it can no longer be the united states coming to the rescue of every little country that falls into bad times. the united nations needs to step up and become a real world power unto itself.
