I don't think any country in their rightful mind would launch an attack on the USA...only terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. Maybe you're worried about Russia. Take note that WE are the ones provoking them by building missile detection facilities next to their borders (Poland) and providing advanced weapons tech to their neighbors (Georgia)...who's provoking who? B) The US needs to stop wasting money trying to act as world police. If we don't stop borrowing money from China, no other type of change whatsoever would save us from economic catastrophe. We need to stop trying to ensure that we are the only superpower and make sure we help our own citizens first. We can't stop the Chinese. We're only helping them. I couldn't even get a loan for my senior year at school but thanks to a partial scholarship and my six-month internship, I can still pay my tuition. I hate to think of the mess I'd be in if I wasn't on this internship.

After stating how you're against oil drilling in the US, I'm going to take this moment to point out how completely contradictory paragraphs A & B really are.
You don't want the US to be world police but you want us to keep buying oil from other countries. You don't want to drill within our borders but you don't seem to mind if other countries ruin their own environments while watching American jobs disappear that could be invested in our own oil industry. You want to make sure our citizens are secure, but you're willing to keep watching over 70% of our oil money leave the country to go to whatever tyrant has control of the well that day.
You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Sacrifices must be made in one area or another.
