My mistake. He said "mine." Which is just as bad. Why's that? I don't see why he can't. Unless he isn't an American, in which case that would be incorrect. But remember, the US gov't is partly him, it is for the people, by the people, and of the people. Plus he funds with his tax dollars these little ventures.

Wow. That was just about the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a while. If everything is interconnected then anything we do can have bad things happen. Or have good things happen. Here's you analogy with a few alterations: If I gave my roommate a new computer, then he would have a better computer to do his work on. He increases his productivity and gets a nice raise. However because of his raise the company he worked for had to lower the pay of someone else. He goes to work on a day he could have taken off, because his pay is worth it now. The other employee is very angry and after exchanging some ill advised words with the boss gets himself fired. The next day at work that ex-employee shows up and kills everyone, including my roommate who didn't even have to go to work that day. Sad story, isn't it? In an analogy like that, no matter what you do it has the ability to go bad. So how about we try an agruement that isn't so pointless? Then obviously Morty, you need to start listening to what you say. You cannot say that situations throughout the world do not affect the US. To disagree with this is stupid. Stability in the US dependent of stablity in the rest of the world. Until we have stability in the Middle East, the world will be forced to live in fear of terrorism. Why's that? I don't see why he can't. Unless he isn't an American, in which case that would be incorrect. But remember, the US gov't is partly him, it is for the people, by the people, and of the people. Plus he funds with his tax dollars these little ventures. Minors don't pay taxes. DH, anyone that makes enough money pays taxes reguardless of age... *Turns DH in for tax evasion*

Situations around the world do affect the United States, but not as much as you seem to have claimed in your clearly false analogy. It doesn't just affect the USA, it affects everyone, right? So why isn't a place like Sweden getting bombed and terrorized? Because they are uninvolved and thus kept away from the spotlight of things like international terrorism. So if we could stay out we would get minimal effects, rather than bearing the burden that we do today and being the main target.

Ratwar, Masta B/Nostradamus is 13/14. I don't think he makes enough to pay taxes.

Stability in the US dependent of stablity in the rest of the world. Until we have stability in the Middle East, the world will be forced to live in fear of terrorism. Granted that the United States is far to intertwined in global economics to have stability with unrest in the world, in no manor are we forced to live in the fear of terrorism. That is simply buying into the fear mongering of the leaders of this nation. @dh- He does pay sales tax... EDIT: The cartoon that DH posted is a good piece of satire on the use of fear, 9/11, to gain support and votes.
