Bush made a TOTAL mess for the next president to resolve, if he can. We're still in Iraq because, after creating that mess and wasting hundreds of billions of dollars, Bush had no clue How to get out of Iraq! So, he's leaving it for the next guy who will be blamed for Bush's mess.
The Iraqi War is also to blame for most of our domestic higher prices. It's made flying and traveling expensive and extremely inconvenient. It's made nearly all prices for everything much higher. All due to higher oil prices. The terrorists of 9-11 succeeded in their goal--they've lowered the quality of life in America dramatically. Many Americans won't admit to that.
On the one hand, we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on Homeland Security, paying higher prices for everything, and going through all the hassles of traveling...as a result of 9-11. On the other hand, we're paying billions to continue to help fund terrorist acts such as 9-11. How does that make any sense at all? Come on, Americans, get your heads out of those dark holes between your waist and your knees!
Many Americans also won't admit that we're actually helping to fund terrorism everywhere. We contribute the most. How? Every time we fill up on fuel for our vehicles, each time we fly, each time we demand more goods to be delivered. High oil prices is forcing us to pay high prices for everything. We grumble and moan about it but WE DON'T LOWER OUR DEMAND for the oil. We are insatiable and we won't settle for less. OPEC counts on our major contribution to their bank accounts and Americans are determined not to let them down.
How's that for food for thought? Americans should wake up and see things as they are. Stop wasting so much fuel. Our lifestyle is that of a totally spoiled nation. We demand our luxuries and we waste so much of our resources. Our lifestyle is bad for the economy and bad for the environment. But we just are NOT willing to do what we need to do. We need to take stock of our own individual waste and we need to demand our politicians begin NOW--TODAY--to do what they need to do to clean up our act! Our politicians will do nothing significant or constructive unless we demand it. And we won't demand it if it will mean we'll have to give up our wasteful ways or at least cut down on it significantly.
So, fellow Americans, stop complaining about high prices. We have no one to blame but ourselves.
