Jan. 2, 2009: A Small View Of Politics

So, what I don’t understand is why America thinks that fixing everyone else’s problems is going to somehow carry over and fix our problems. The war in the middle east between “A rock and a hard place” is starting again and people are wondering if we are going to intervene? Why should we? We don’t live there. We can barely keep our malls and other stores open. We are still in freaking IRAQ! Why should we send more of OUR people over to help THEIR people? I do know that the president and whoever else isn’t saying that we are going over there to help, but Mr. President, Bush, is giving statements on the radio talking about “This has to stop. Promises from the heads of the countries to not help out other terrorist groups is not going to work.” Why does he feel the need to say something? I understand that at one time we were seen as a “Superpower” country, but HELLO!!!! We aren’t that big and strong anymore. Don’t get me wrong….I support our troops in every way possible, and they are always in my thoughts, but come on….do we really need, or want, to send more of them over to help a fight that we aren’t part of? It just doesn’t make any sense to me. I just hope that Obama can get our country moving in the right direction…fast.
