War! What is it good for?

[Michael Culler]

First of all, I appreciate the men and women who choose to serve in the armed forces for our country. And I do not mean to offend them in any way, but instead try to gain insight in some questions that I have.

Why do you think we invade and occupy countries in the middle east? should we feel safer that we have done that? Does it make sense to do that in order to fight a never ending "war on terror"?

What have we gained from the invasions of these countries?

And why the hell are we bombing Pakistan?

I would ask if we are defending freedom, but I know that we aren't doing that. The Govt is steadily taking our freedom away, so that wouldn't make any sense.
