Who Will Be The Next Generation Of Leaders After Iraq & Afghanistan?
America has been sacrificing her young men in huge numbers in wars that have shown the world how shallow we truly are. Currently we are the only country that has a stockpile of nuclear arsenal that can destroy this planet ten times over and still have some to spare.

Yes, we are the world's only REAL Super Power in ARMS. So what are we doing with this DEAD and useless stock of munitions that we cannot use anyhow. If we intend to enjoy our status on this planet, much less live here indefinitely?

Today we are talking about setting up a Missile Deterrent scanner and first response threat reactor in Europe.

As I see it, to deter whom?

* Is this deterrent going to stop Al Qaeda from seeking deadly weapons now or in the future?

And if Al Qaeda is able to get hold of any such weapons.

* How are we or the Super powers going to know when, where, or how they will use this or those weapons?

Come 2008, a new political administrator will obtain The White House. He or she will be at the mercy of his or her party's dictates about the two wars inherited. And the same decisions this current administration faces, he or she will face then.

* Are we going to continue the same political frivolities, petty squabbles, and rancor once more?

* Are we ( I mean the two parties), going to engage in TRUE bi-partisan co-operation in deciding how to leave Iraq and Afghanistan, without having to say we are so sorry, but we must go now!

Meanwhile, the Creme-De-La Creme or our young people, potential leaders of tomorrow, die by the thousands every day in these two wars. Thus robing this nation and the international community of leadership it so desperately needs in the future.
