Oh Dori, you just don't understand!  Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
You start a war that
the rest of the world doesen't approve of and won't help pay for - then you
get the rest of the world
to pay for it anyway by running an enormous budget deficit that is funded by
the rest of the world's
investors! ;-)

I would think that if the rest of the world that CLAIMS to be as antiwar as
they SAY they are
were to actually put their money where their mouths are and stop funding the
deficit here for a
few years, something might actually get done.  I'd gladly deal with a few
years of depression here
in order to finally once and for all put the idiot supply sider economists
and deficit spending is
good economists into the grave were they belong.

But, I guess we won't ever see that because it's to the rest of the world's
advantage to allow us
here to keep deluding ourselves, so they can continue draining our economy
of all jobs that actually
produce anything of real value.
