talkpoliticsI'm torn about the President's Afghan policy. Do we support an obviously corrupt government, like we did in Vietnam? Do we allow a nation that will be built on drug trafficing to grow? Has history shown us that no outside nation can win a war in that region? Do we abandon them, like we did in the 80s and earlier in this decade? IF so are we somewhat responsible for the abuses that the women of the region will again have to face? Do those of us who chose not to fight, have a right to ask young men and women to fight for us? I think when listening to the speech, that we should remember that there is no good answer.

Date: 2/12/09 08:44 (UTC)Texas is burning it's savings AND taking a loan without earning that money back...
It *IS* better than IOUs, but based on what has been said -- that's just a matter of time if something doesnt change.
