Horrible Planing and no end in sight.....
Our government has seriously done a terrible job managing this campaign to fight terrorist. There are several facts pointed out in this blog that make a clear point. We have lost American troops and spent too much money trying to restructure a government to be a civilized democracy. This blog basically insists that we need to pull our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan and utilize that man power at high stress points such as, our mass transit facilities like airports, harbors, and all along our borders. We do need to strengthen our borders so that they are secure from any intrusion of unthinkable acts. However, I think that pulling out our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan all at once, is not a good idea. We must pull them out gradually, to slowly put the weight on their country security forces, so that they can manage with out depending on U.S military.
It really seems that we haven’t achieved much in Iraq. But there are so many things we have to reconsider before we walk away. Iraq is basically in a state of anarchy since we invaded their country. Iraq has been targeted as a country of origin for women, girls, and even babies for human trafficking to Yemen, Syria, Jordan, Gulf countries and some European nations for the purposes of sex, labor, and organ exploitation. Iraq has become the breeding grounds for terrorist organizations which threaten the future of Iraq and neighboring countries. It clearly shows that Iraq is in a sensitive state and if there were an immediate withdraw of U.S. troops, then who is to say which direction this country will be heading.
I support this article in regards to strengthening our borders but we must finish the job that we started in Iraq and Afghanistan. America is being watched very closely by many powerful nations and if we walked away, we could lose important relations with some allies as well as the investment we have in these countries. Our current government will need to figure out a better method in protecting our national interest and to secure our borders.

Stimulus for whom?
Our nation is in trouble, big trouble. Our President seems to be doing his best to get us out of this trouble. But is it the right path to get us out of this deep hole?
Mass media talks about several stimulus packages. Think tanks from different fields, analyze this package. Some people show positive opinion about the plans and others don’t. All Americans, including the world economy, are hoping that this package will stimulate the economy and send this downward spiral into an uprising stable state.
What is this stimulus package going to do for us? One thing for sure, is that we will have to pay a whole lot of taxes to even out the debt we’re currently in. Do we need to stand up and be against that? Many people will say that they don’t want to pay any more taxes to the government which seems to be handed out to the big businesses that got us in the recession in the first place.
Ironically, we want our nation to be the strongest military force in the world and to be the richest country, but yet Americans don’t seem to be willing to pay more taxes. How can the government achieve the country’s goal of remaining number one, if our country remains in the negative?
I support the stimulus package. Yes, I’m willing to pay more tax for our country as long as it works. But none of the stimulus packages out there are for ordinary citizens. We are not even close to be affected by this plan. The government is stimulating the wrong part of America. Look around, how did we end up in this crisis? It’s because of the wicked powerful bankers and corporations. Giving out the money to failed corporations without any condition, is like pouring water over a duck’s back which would fail to keep it wet.
The government should focus on the common consumer since they are the ones that seem to stimulate the economy by buying consumer goods which creates the demand.
Our government should consider what trouble the ordinary American faces now. Home owners can’t pay their mortgages and in turn the banks fail due to the large number of bad credits they have. Majority of these Mortgages where given to home owners that couldn’t afford any inflated interest rate. The government could give out money for home owners which would be a little to late for most, or they can restructure the Mortgage rates along with the entire home loaning process. Either way you look at it, Mortgages are what got us into this faction in the first place. Now the homeless population has increased dramatically and banks are going bankrupt. The government is giving out money to the wrong groups of people. What have the failed corporations done so far with our tax money? They bought new jets and reward themselves for the awful job they have done.
Since the first stimulus package didn’t work out for changing our economy around, hopefully our government has learned from their failures and now recognizes who they need to stimulate.
