I decided to keep this out of another forum that was discussing the loss of a locomotive due to war, and I felt like getting political, but that's not allowed over there, so here we go...Opinions welcomed!

Personally with the North Korea, the United States should stay out of it, and let another Country to tell them to stop. It seems about every country in the World hide behind the US if something goes wrong, and only comes in with lending money to the United States. We've had enough wars, let someone else handle them.

I know that's looking at things through an eye of a needle, but I believe that if the guns aren't pointed at us, we should stay out of it!

Another thing this damn stimulus plan, it's good for nothing! It put our country 7-10 billion dollars in debt, and to pay for it the government is giving less money to the states. So the states get the money to basically pay for the shortfall they are getting from the normal federal funding. Is it just me or is there something wrong with that?

Now onto Education....The government is putting in place higher education standards, yet they are giving the schools LESS money to improve the education standards....bunch of BS.

Hey Carvinrocks, 8 years of Bush politics feeding the rich got us into this mess. I do believe Obama may have bit off more than he can fix though.

As a Brit, I shall stay out of the politics but here are some photos taken during a visit there. Considering N Korea was described and an 'axis of evil' and so many countries have been invaded by the US, I can't help feeling that if I were them, I would be developing atomic weapons too!
