The drive in becoming the world’s policing force with the most technologically advanced and numerous military has become reality thought hey staunchly deny it which might be a classic case of “Biting off more that you could chew” for the US. How much more suffering of Americans and non-Americans alike would the government allow before choosing to take care of their own rather than become too obsessed with the spreading of democracy into the far reaches of the world (some of which don’t even have democracy in their vocabulary nonetheless understand the concept of the word). Heads will roll and they have been ever since the government started investigating why the country was thrust into a war that saw no concrete legal basis in local or international law. Sadly, they will continue to roll as they try to fix the already messy economy and lives will also continue to be lost…. Hopefully not in vain. We salute the many men and women who die for another’s troubles but they might be doing it in vain for the people at home are dealing with a more sinister culprit, politics. The upcoming result of elections will tell the mindset of Americans which can spell disaster for the current government. The changes they will make to their policy and government will tell the world who and what the country has become in the following years as they try to get out of the rut the economy is now in.
