stuff snipped

USSR got into cold war arms race with US and our country basically
bankrupted them......

now the terrorists are doing it to us.

It's funny that we never realized that what we did to the USSR, the
terrorists did to us. Lock the cabin doors and tell people it's not
only OK
to stop airplane terrorists in the act, but that it was their patriotic
duty
to do so. If those two things had been done, 9/11 couldn't have
happened.
Israelis have locked jetliner cabin doors for over 20 years.

What worries me is that Americans don't seem to understand we're not the
only country that reacts very strongly to the death of its citizens.
When
we lost 3,000 people, we then went out and killed 100's of thousands of
people who had nothing to do with 9/11. Don't any of the revenge
obsessed
Americans have a clue that the relatives of 100's of thousands of the
Iraqis
killed in our war will want to seek revenge on US? We've already had a
Pakistani travel across the world to kill people outside of CIA HQ in
Virginia. Killing begets more killing.

we can no longer afford to be worlds cop

Papers found in Osama's compound reveal that he was ecstatic about our
financial problems and gladly took credit for them. Truth be told, he
was
right. A *lot* of our current deficit came from our over-reaction to
9/11.
When Katrina hit, did we declare war on hurricanes?

No but a kind of war was declared on our own country by an invading army
of bayou scum that spread far and wide. o_O

Yep. Scum and cream both rise to the top.
