Then why waste money on it?

I am really getting tired of reading all of this anti USA stuff from all of these people who are US citizens.

And some of us are tired of fools who can't see reality when it's right in front of them.

You hate the USA!! You should be ashamed of yourself!!

Grow up and wake up (in any order). If anyone should be ashamed, it would be those who can't see the failings of that which they advocate.

Excellent quote. Thanks for the reminder.

Because we're America!

So how do you conclude that, without provocation, the US would take any military action against it?

Freakin' Hell! Why is a sovereign nation being characterized as a child?

A spade is a spade. Being a sovereign nation does not earn a respect that is undue.

At the very least the US is par for the course. I'm aware, humanity sucks.

I said if it works. Some people in the Pentagon believe it will.
