Nothing else needs to be said on who should be President. We have the benefit of hindsight now but Obama made the right choice, and McCain would've screwed this country over just like Bush did. No other policy is going to affect this country as much as the Iraq War did and the fact that McCain got that decision so very wrong you'd have to be an absolute idiot to vote for him. |
I agree here. The war, even if it is going to be a "success", was a bad decision. There is no success in going into a country, changing their whole foundation, and in the process killing tens of thousands of citizens. We shouldn't be playing some sort of global bully.
If you've read anything about colonialism, you'd understand that not every culture wants the same values as us. We can't go into a "messed up" country and then try to force feed our values with guns and missiles. Our whole reason for going into Iraq was twisted and has nothing to do with terrorists. We could have tried many other things, just as Obama supports. War should always be the absolute last option.
