this sounds a bit too much like apocalyptic saber rattling to me.

granted, we have been attacked and need to respond, but the WHOLE world? with the poverty and ignorance running rampant in this country, maybe some of those billions of war dollars might be better spent at home. after all, a contented population will be more vigilant and more apt to police themselves than a country as divided as ours has become. the u.s., running around sticking our nose into other people"s affairs and blowing things up, is only postponing future terrorist actions inside this country.
