y does America try to control other countries...i mean we want them to be free...but like Japan, we dont let them have weapons...dont get me wrong i know its for our protection...it just seems like we alwayz get exactly what we want, and when we dont...there goes a war

We can't afford to police the world. We blow up people who haven't done anything, they pick up guns and shoot at us, and meanwhile we're spending $100 billion to build roads ofr a country with no cars. 

Exactly, excellent point.

Sure it is going much fatser......running the country into the ground. We want to say oh yeah an Iraqi government, but want to get upset when the president does not want out presence there.

How is it going much faster?

Yes, but their brutal dictator, Saddam, had connections to terrorists and Bush declared a war on terror after 9/11.

There are terrorists in Iraq. Terrorists who flew planes into the World Trade Centers and Pentagon, killing thousands of people. Now we're going after them for killing Americans. True, it wasn't Iraq, but the Alquidea is in Iraq, and they were the guys behind 9/11. (I know that I spelled Alquidea wrong, sorry bout that)

So we should go and invade every single country with connections to terrorists?

And for pete sakes! The country may not be doing as well as is was before the war, but this is nothing compared to the great depression.

The Great Depression was extreme.. but at the rate things are going...
