You sound like you did well in Sheep 101.kingsize said:Sometimes our government does things that we don't understand. We aren't told because we don't need to know. You probably do not want to know. You have to trust that there is good reason behind these events, that they are for the longterm benefit of the nation and its citizens.

The founding fathers didn't trust elected officials and people in government, otherwise they wouldn't have put limitations on government in the constitution.kingsize said:Anyways, I back my government 100%. Remember, it's doesn't necessarily lie to you. What it does, it does for a reason. Trust in your elected officials. After all, you put them there.

Put all that together and things start making sense. Never put anything past your government and elected politicians. Consider that we have such a strong presence in the Middle East NOT to defeat terrorists, as much as to control the region which has the resources we need. Consider that terrorism is something we (our leaders) *want* so that the public will accept our strong presence in the Middle East.
