Dave Hinz responds:
OK, so then, pollution that others produce isn't our problem, people
starving in other countries (because they live where there isn't any
food) isn't our problem, and so on?


The only benefits I can see are ephemeral and unnecessary to U.S.
survival.


See above.


Someone, somewhere, in and out of the Conservative movement,
needs to get the idea that we are not, never have been, and should
not
be, nannies for the frigging world.


You see that as a _conservative_ problem?


If we're threatened, kick the ****
out of the threat. Otherwise, stay out. Let them handle their own
problems.


Sounds good, let's cut off all the aid, grants, relief, and all that.
They don't pay our taxes, so **** 'em.

Not what I said. We should not go to war over someone else's problems.
And, yeah, this time around it's a Conservative problem. Conservative
Republicans, or those claiming to be, got us into this Iraq hole.
