jesus christ Ed, that was beautifully put.
for me, it's mostly about:
rushing into a war that while could have been executed brilliantly start to finish, was rushed, and therefore too many are paying the price
ROI. the money we've borrowed from China to fund the war is going to cripple the country 3-7 years down the road. When you borrow $200B+ and you burn it in Iraq, that is $0 (hard or soft) returned to the GDP or the quality of our public/infrastructure, it could very well be the worst business decision ever made.
I've posted before, what if you borrowed $200B from the Chinese to:
Build a truly world-class education system
or
Build the best high-speed broadband infrastructure
or
Incent the private sector to REALLY come up with alternative fuel vehicles
it would be money well spent and the deficit spending/borrowing could be defended against a future payback/strength of the country.
All I ask is you to consider what $200B would have done for any of these objectives, each of which would yield huge dividends down the road.
Instead of investing in the future of this country, bush has squandered in the present.
Payback will be a b!tch, and it will by you and me making the payments.
