kudos to those who mentioned energy dependance...with that monkey on our back, we're always going to be involved in the mideast. support of regimes there has been one unmitigated disaster after another: the Shah, Saddam, the house of saud...needing to go in and bail out of the kuwaitis. Our policy has produced neither stability nor democracy...and i don't see it doing that anytime soon. It's not our first priority there.
phred...i guess the reason why i started poking Ustwo is that this thread was issued as a challenge. He implied that the left had no reasonable ideas for making America and the world safer. It's a libel...and one that has hurt our cause quite badly. So when we're given a chance to prove it wrong...and come out here with a whole list of thought out and reasoned ideas...it's sorta annoying that the other side doesn't even show up for the debate.
