OK, maybe the rest of the world don't hate us but there are plenty of people and countries that do. I have to figure it's because we always stick our noses into someone else's business. G.W. Bush was probably one of the worse at it. To me it seems like they sort of have a right to hate us or attack us. I mean we go to their countries and kill their people or bomb the hell out of it. I for one, might be one of the people that do not quite understand the world stage and what we are doing all over the world fighting other people. I would think we have to fix the problems in our country before we try to go help others. The money that we spend on the world problems is overwhelming. We cannot even protect our own borders, but we are spread all over the middle east. The amount of money we have spent on the wars over the past 6 to 8 years has put us so far behind that we may not ever get out. Not in my life time. I am 47 now and I just cannot see us getting out of debt. Especially if we are still fighting every where and the amount of money it cost us.
The 9/11 deal was done within our borders. They did not fly planes over here and attack us. They did it from right here within the United States. We actually trained them. So I would think we need to work on our problems within the United States. If there is a big enough problem somewhere else, the rest of the world will let us know. Let them be the leaders and we will help out. We always seem to take the lead in these matters.
I just have trouble understanding what we are doing all over the place fighting, when we have so much to take care of here. I am sure I am missing something somewhere along the way. I just know that almost every day I hear that some family has just lost a son or daughter while fighting in the middle east. Then the next story is how a group of illegal immigrants crossed over the borders. Well, those are my thoughts for today.
Have a great day,
David of DLTC
