The High Cost of War

http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com

Before the outbreak of war in Libya, America was already spending outrageous amounts on wars brought about by a mistake in going to war after scapegoating Osama bin Laden for crimes committed against our nation in 2001. Whether Obama is now actually dead or alive, the myth must be perpetuated in order to keep our sinking morale high in the war against terrorism. Taking the focus off Iraq and Afghanistan under UN auspices will result in renewed investigation into what really happened on 9/11 and why, resulting from our national arrogance and overly inflated, go-it-alone pride mentality as the last remaining superpower, forgetting what our forefathers taught our generation about being grateful for blessings received.

Any dollars spent on keeping the peace in Libya will be well spent in expediting our orderly withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan. This will result in a net gain in money saved. The military hardware including ships, aircraft and cruise missiles already in existence is not costing us anything because it would only have been taking up space as our military presence diminishes in other parts of the world. As we regain stability, America will begin the long process of sorting out who our real friends and real enemies are.
