could have been putting the money to better use. we are the only country who has nuked someone as an act of war. we have enough nukes to blow up the entire worl many, many times over. i just hate to say it but it is wrong when we do it. if we are going to have seperate countries said countries need to look at for themselves, like it or not bong iraq is worse of since we entered, i am aware saddam is out of power as i am sure you are aware it has since slid into a civil war. but they have held democratic elections so i guess it is ok. and i dont know if you are still arguing for the vietnam war but pretty much everyone in american including those who were for it at the time have admitted it was a huge mistake. same will happen with this one in due time.
