Is it possible for there to be peaceful interdependency? Yes, it is possible. Is it probableto happen? Not bloody likely. In the world today very nation is trying to subjugate another nation either through military might, religious doctrine, or through economic means in order to get ahead.
I never said we shouldn't trade goods. Keep trade going by all means, but lets limit our involvement in other nations only to trade. No aide to other countries. No taking loans from other countries. No military excursions, or try to change their political system. And so forth and so on.
It has nothing to do with honor or compassion. The president fooled congress to have our forces invade Iraq. We invaded on false pretenses which is costing the US billions of dollars and cost the lives of thousands of our soldiers. What do we have to show for it? Nothing. Not a damn thing. All we got was a civil war and nearly every nation on this mudball hating us. Way to go Bush! There will be no peace in Iraq unless the Iraqis want it. That is the bottomline. There will be no clean way out of Iraq because Bush and his idiotic administration went in without an exit strategy. The only viable solution is to leave so that we don't waste more resources and lives in that sinkhole.
