Having a strong standing army is the goal of any major nation's defense department. This should be no exception. We are the biggest baddest muthaf***as on the planet right now, which means we oughta have the biggest baddest muthaf***in army there too. However, using military force to affect change in a preemptive fashion is irresponsible, dangerous and just plain wrong, ethically and morally.
Just so y'all know. Since Saddam's capture has been announced, there have been 4 suicide bombings in Iraq, 27 more Iraqi Security force members dead. If your living in a modified Latrine Pit with a stash of 750K, candy bars and hotdogs, something tells me that you aren't that involved with an insurgency. Just a hunch.
