My questions after 2005
I've been thinking about the state of our country, and I honestly don't have the answers to the following questions (from a country point of view):
1)Why was Afghanistan acceptable to attack, but Iraq was not?
2)Are we truly at war?
3)Is the Patriot Act a good thing?
4)Which is more important: our lives, or our freedom to live them the way we choose?
5)Why is Iraq so important?
6)What is our goal?
7)Four years later, have we overreacted to 9/11?
8)Have the lives we've lost in Iraq been less than the lives we've saved in doing so?
9)Is this a temporary state, or a new paradigm of America?
10)Are things better?
I realize that many of these questions are unanswerable. Frankly, I'm just bewildered by what's happening in our country. It would seem that no one remembers we will be electing a new President in two years, and that much of this will change(barring we elect Cheney). I just don't know what's happening.
