Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the here-we-go-again dept.

With under a week to go, we're opening up discussions on the US Presidential Election. Yesterday we discussed the economy. Today we take on one of the other major election topics: The War. From the actual wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to foreign policy issues related to potential threats like North Korea, Russia, and Iran, how do the candidates stack up?

    If they wanted a pro-America government in Iraq, they should have installed a pro-America dictator.

    They tried that already and it seems to have backfired.
    Stupid dictators not doing what they're told to.

    Actually, spending the money on us would be stupid. Because its all loans from china and other countries who want to see us farther in debt. Balancing the economy and NOT spending money we don't have would make a hell of alot more sense than taking one massive debt generator and renaming it "for the people of america" instead of "for the people of iraq". In either case, we go bankrupt.
