If I may ask out of curiosity-what is your mental illness? You are able to write and read obviously?

Bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders with intermittent explosive disorder. Mood swings, anxiety attacks, paranoid delusions, hallucinations. I have a laundry list of symptoms that basically boil down to as long as I stay at home and heavily medicated I can stay out of the hospital.

Wars like Afghanistan and Iraq seem to overheat the US economy early on, from 2003-2006 the economy has high growth and good employment but rising debt, 2007 signs of recession up ahead, in 2008 it hits crises and now there is prolonged unemployment with the US economy unable to get back on footing..

Wasn't the war, either of the wars, that caused the housing bubble or the bank crisis. The wars have played hell with the deficit and caused us to rack up an even more unsustainable debt, but that didn't wreck the economy. Irresponsible lending practices spurred on by irresponsible government policies did that.

the notion that these 2 stupid countries Afghan and Iraq are worth all this so their women are saved is such a joke..

Honestly, I don't care about saving Afghan women. They're just a good example of why we can't turn the government back over to the Afghans yet. If we bail, Afghanistan goes back to the terrorist haven and recruiting ground it was before we invaded, except with even more of a gripe against the American government and even more faith in their ability to crack our resolve.

ultra nationalism is about 'winning' problem is the nationalists in those occupied countries also want to win, and they can only win if the US and nato is driven out.. and unlike the USA, the rebels have nothing to lose.

Our nation's got more men, more gear, and more money than theirs. Only reason we wouldn't be able to win is that our lack of commitment doesn't inspire confidence in Afghans who might be persuaded to cooperate with our government.

Had those left-wing pussies are whatever you call them not rioted until the US govt was forced to end that corrupt war you can only imagine where the US economy would have gone...

Corrupt war? The only thing corrupt about it was our unwillingness to let the military fight.

You don't appreciate what those protesters did for their country by pressuring the US govt to end the war.. Where are these patriots now?

I don't think you appreciate what those protestors were trying to do to our country then and what they're trying to do to this country now. These weren't people who loved America and were trying to save it from a tragic mistake; they were people who hated American government, American institutions, and anyone who stood for them.

As for where they are now? They're running our education system and advising our President. They're not out protesting in the streets because they won; they are the establishment now.
