Was WW1 necessary? I am sure some could argue that WW2 was avoidable. I know we bailed them out twice.

Well I basically found the answer to my question. Some people insist on economic isolation, even though it reduces economic efficiency.
The Europe that your forefathers left is not the Europe that exists today. It is much easier for people to make ends meet in that nation. I don't think its sad that more people want t imitate the European model. I think its sad that there is so much economic inequality in the U.S. Not everyone had the same opportunities in life.
I was not talking about WWI and WWII. I was talking about the War in Iraq and the War in Afghanistan. Bush kept telling the American public about how there would be all of these weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Where are they? They still haven't found any nuclear missiles in Iraq. What a bummer. Afterward, he stated that we had to finish the job even though there were no weapons of mass destruction. If that was his philosophy, then why didn't he declare war on every nation that he considers to be ruled by a tyrant?
