i disagree with it doing just as much good, it was intended to do that good in another countries economy, not ours

everyone talks how its all about the oil ... well i dont see the oil paying for the government to get started, the US is. that oil is what should be paying for it not you and me.
regardless of how you or i feel about the actual war and its rebuilding process the US govt decided that it wants to rebuild their economy and establish democracy, so thats what we are putting money towards
our taxes are going to another country, deal with it
if you dont like it then vote differently or start a rally, but dont steal money and then think its ok just because you disagree with the morals behind the use of that money
