For the most part, yes. Everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions and take responsibility for the consequences for their actions. Take this economic bailout with the mortgage crisis and the Big Three automakers in the US. Those who ran those businesses into the dirt and those who took loans they could not afford to pay deserve to face the consequences of their actions. Why should I, a person who has been mostly responsible with his money, who goes to work and pays his bills, should have his tax money wasted on these people? Where the frak is my bailout?
Iraq was no threat. Iraq was under control and held in check by the UN. We should not have invaded and every life loss is a waste. All the invasion of Iraq did for the US was double our national debt, weakened our economy, and pissed off a lot of other countries. Oh yeah, 3000+ American lives were worth that.
