I wouldn’t want to be the President!

“How is it possible to have a civil war?”

I found this question on

http://coolsig.com/lifes_questions3.html

I thought this appropriate since the President is giving a speech about Iraq tonight. Let me start out with, I fully 100% support our troops and everything that they are doing. However I am not sure that we should remain in Iraq. I don’t think anyone can truly know what they would do if there were the president. I know that we are not privy to all the information he is and that would most likely impact anyone’s decision. I do feel that we shouldn’t take on other countries problems as our own.

The US is known for “policing” the world. People talk about this in such a negative way. When we are trying to help Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia, etc people said that the US should keep out of it, the US should mind their own business. That is all fine and good but……

These are also the people who believe that the US should give aid to all the under developed countries in the world. Tends to be pretty confusing!
