[QUOTE="simme, post: 1669458, member: 40418"] I just wonder if that word "[B]elite[/B]" is the right one here. Sure all politicians are political. So maybe all wars are political in that sense. But I believe that WW2 for instance was for a noble purpose - entirely justified and made a difference in the future. The wars since then - not so much. Was Vietnam worth the effort in the end? Communist government took over immediately. Was the situation better after we left than when we started? Iraqi wars - did we have the second one because Hussain tried to have Bush #1 assassinated or because he was a threat to the world with his WMD's? Did the wars there improve the outlook for the region, put democracy in place, make the world safer? Should we have gone there in the first place? Afghanistan? How many years now? What was accomplished? USA is much to quick to get involved in these wars. [/QUOTE]
