Maybe we should agree to disagree, but just because I used Iraq as an 
example doesn't mean that I support that action or that I think US 
foreign policy is on track.  It isn't, and I think for the most part 
that we probably do agree about the role of the US in the world.  I 
think we may differ on for example you see our invasion of Iraq as an 
oil grab and probably Afghanistan as a removal of government action, but 
I see the two as military positioning for the upcoming war with 
Iran(which will be a regional if not a world war) and Russia.  As you 
saw last night in the debates, both candidates, and every other 
politician on the Hill, is adamant about Iran not getting nukes.  They 
are also worried about the Bourse, which many think will be the death 
nail of America.  Even with purpose (and not for oil) is it the right 
path? I don't think so.  I'm more of an isolationist by nature.
And I am sure that you are right about how many innocents we have 
killed, but I think that is only because the war is there, not here.  I 
don't that has any reflection of the civility of the enemy.   War is 
hell, someone said.
