I do not like the militarization of our country at all.

No, I'll stay here and change it from within by legal
means. You seem
like the type to believe that if we had F-22's, Ospreys,
JSF, DDX
things would have gone much better in Iraq. A large
military is no
substitute for good policy, good diplomacy and good
intelligence.
Military action is the result of failed policy and not
just short term
policy. The habitual use of force on foriegn countries
actually
weakens our country. It shows no long range vision, no
workable
solutions and no consideration for others. Yeah, the US
did topple
Hussien's government, but failed on the nation building
front. It
isn't the military that failed in Iraq, we have the best
and plenty of
it, it is policy, diplomacy and intelligence that has
failed. Maybe it
is time the military got trimmed a bit so we can build up
on the
intelligence and diplomacy front. Does the Air Force
really need a
gold course on every base while the marines sleep in the
mud?

How long will America continue to lead the world as a
model of liberty
and tolerance when people such as you at the mere mention
of any
"anti American" criticism call for expulsion of those
individuals from
the country? Why are you so intolerant of people with
opinions just a
bit different than yours? Are you that insecure? Why must
you resort
to such black/white ultimatums?

I do not like the militarization of our country. I do not
like the
suppression of civil liberties. I do not like holding
people for long
periods of time without due process. I resent seeing
ordinary
Americans treated with the suspicion that they are guilty
of some
crime or are about to perpetrate some act of terrorism.

Next we will be building a wall, not to keep people out,
but to keep
them in.
