As I sat at this computer pondering what should be my next blog post, I can't help but notice all the controversy surrounding the fighting in Lybia. So I decided that it is my journalistic duty to speak on the issue....
We all remember the "weapons of mass destruction" mess with Bush and how we just had to go to Iraq and fight. We also remember how we began sending our troops over to Iraq to fight a war that was not ours to fight in the first place. What's the worst part of it all is that our government lied to us, they betrayed our trust and they allowed us to send troops to fight someone else's battle. Now, I'm all for defending my country and my people, but why is it that we always seem to be fighting other peoples battles, yet we can never get anyone to help us with our own battles. I'm not anti-government or anything but I do have a problem with my friends and family being sent to a country to fight a battle that the people of that country don't even want our help with. I mean, if we are going to go to a country to help someone fight, we should not be receiving opposition from those people that we claim want and need our help.
It just seems like we have this "hero mentality" where we have to be super-save-a-country or something. So excuse me if I am for not going to Lybia. Excuse me if I am for President Obama and the fact that he is not gunhoe about going to Lybia and fighting. It's so funny how contradictory we can be; we got mad at Bush for sending troops to Iraq; we got mad at Obama cause the troops ara still in Afghanastan and Iraq; yet we are mad the Obama isn't moving fast enough for us with Lybia. It's like we want to kill our economy or something. Is it just me or is this war expensive as heck already. I mean we are technically fighting two wars right now, even if you don't believe it or the government doesn't admit it. But just being honest, we can't afford to fight a third war. Heck we are having problems paying our own bills, gas prices are killing us and our economy is a hot mess so why do something we don't have to yet! I know one thing, if things keep esculating, we may be headed into WWIII!
So now that you have heard my thoughts, I would like to create some open dialogue to see what other's are thinking...no racist talk and lets be respectable of other's on my page...I will delete all offensive posts!
