oh man, i'm gonna have too much fun disecting this one
P.S. i believe it was the brilliant political philosopher Edmund Burke who said "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" ... enough said
Secondly, i know doing the right thing isn't always convenient, but it's ALWAYS worth it... boohoo... forget about tax dollars (FYI, i'm not conceding to the thought that taxes will go up for this war)... we have a responsibility to humanity to stick up for the weak and less fortunate, and protect those who are being oppressed, and to not cower in the corner only concerned with our own little world, ignoring the cries of millions... especially since we are so blessed as a nation (and canada too)... we as a culture are better off than anyone throughout the course of history... no one has had it better than us... so i think the least thing we can do is to give back after being so blessed... everything we have is God-given... how then, can we stand by and let innocent people be killed and oppressed? i bet the blacks in the USA are glad certain brave white men didn't do that... just ask one and he'll probably tell you that he's grateful that some brave men went against convention, stood up for his beliefs, and stared down any who opposed them... that act of bravery brought freedom to the blacks... i believe it is wrong to watch people suffer while we have so much... what's so great about us that only we deserve freedom and happiness, while others deserve bondage and misery?? we like to think we deserve it more, but we don't... i know i won't stand by and let injustice take place

You're right man.. since i'm not the one being slaughtered, tortured, killed, and enslaved who cares? i mean, helping them isn't worth a few bucks out of my pocket!!! i mean, come on now!!! $$$$ is important stuff... don't want it bogged down by liberating the oppressed and down-trodden... let them deal w/ it themselvesWould you like to put billions of dollars into wars that have absolutely NOTHING to do with you?
couple mistakes here.... first off, liberals (Kerry)=high taxes, more government programs... and conservatives (Bush)=lower taxes via tax cuts, and less government programsThink of the future your kids will have to pay more taxes then they make in their salary.
