    The government benefits from every drug used. ? , Heroin, Mary Jane, they got their hand in all of it. How you think we spend billions a year to stop it and have all these defenses and people patroling the air and seas watching for it yet the product amount is at an all time high.

    No, ? , weed, ? can all be made by man easily on a farm, people would buy it from the government, but they wont nearly make us much as they would by shipping it in the country illegally and controlling one of the worlds main ? output. You can grow weed in your house or in your yard, you cant make vics, oxycodone, colonzapam, etc.. in your house unless your a very good chemist.

    War is good for the economy....all the wars we're fighting create jobs for the many contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. Halliburton created thousands of jobs by feeding American soldiers and fixing stuff in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's a small part of the new colonialism that is going on in the Middle East right now.

    We are still there because we are still afraid that the country will collapse into a Category 5 shitstorm without U.S soldiers. Iraqi Kurds forming their own country and starting a war with Turkey, mass genocide of Iraqi Sunnis by Iran-supported Shiites, etc.

    170,000 troops during the "surge"

    98,000 troops as of 3 months ago

    Obama is pressuring the military to reach 50,000 by August 31

    And who made the USA the world's chief police protector?

    The Carter Doctrine was a policy proclaimed by President of the United States Jimmy Carter in his State of the Union Address on January 23, 1980, which stated that the United States would use military force if necessary to defend its national interests in the Persian Gulf region. The doctrine was a response to the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union, and was intended to deter the Soviet Union—the Cold War adversary of the United States—from seeking hegemony in the Gulf.

    In The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power, author Daniel Yergin notes that the Carter Doctrine "bore striking similarities" to a 1903 British declaration, in which British Foreign Secretary Lord Landsdowne warned Russia and Germany that the British would "regard the establishment of a naval base or of a fortified port in the Persian Gulf by any other power as a very grave menace to British interests, and we should certainly resist it with all the means at our disposal."

    "Let our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force." - President Jimmy Carter

    ^^^ - remove "outside" from that quote and you get the idea. He even dropped "by any means necessary"!

    (bet u didn't know it was Jimmy, shoutout to my Middle-East History professor. Old Israeli man that was in Israel during the Suez and Yom Kippur wars. Cool guy, Anti-Zionist.)
