I didn't suggest anyone demanded the war with Iraq, although no one forced any other country to become involved. My point was how people want us to continually help them (ie: send money and aid) yet b&m about everything we do.

As far as the UN is concerned sorry but I don't feel we need their permission or blessing for anything we do. I personally believe the UN has passed any usefulness it ever had and needs to move it's operations off US soil and find it's financial support elsewhere. Just look at who the UN has allowed on the Human Rights Council to see one of many points of why I do not support them. I also tire of putting up with Russia and there crap, they are not a friend or ally and never will be. Don't trust them and never will. There is a good number of my fellow citizens who would agree on these points.

We are a wealthy country, however our supplies are tapped and it's time we get ourselves out of debt and stop allowing our politician's to piss our futures down the drain. Our national and state debt has surpassed our GNP which is ridiculous. Government has no business getting into that kind of debt. In fact I believe most debt is unnecessary and our governments should be pay as you go not tax as you want to spend it. Of course I also don't believe our rights are given to us by government but that we are born with them.

Unlike many, I am an issues focused person and don't sway to one party or the other based on some odd sense of loyalty. I have no interest in the extreme left or extreme right as both are more about power than anything. How they want to take it is the only big difference but the fact is they want to take it. I lean heavily libertarian in many ways and want a whole lot less government involvement in everything.
