So you agree that the war in Iraq is a waste of money, that we should have been spending that money on schools and infrastructure. |
Well, no. I think it was probably the biggest mistake a president has ever made in office to go into Iraq. It was against it then, and am against that choice now.
If we could just walk away today with little negative impact, I would say let's get out. But I don't think we are there yet. If being there means we keep hundreds of thousands of people from being ethnically cleansed due to our mistake, I say it's not a waste of money.
It's the cost of our mistakes, and paying out debt is never a bad thing.
Now as for taking the money and putting it into schools and infrastructure. I would say no to that as well. Don't collect it at all, and let the local governments collect it for those reasons.
