What you think does matter

Remember September eleventh [ 9 - 11] Take a moment to remember, think back.. It’s not about being democrat or Republican - but American. It’s not about Obama or McCain - but Rights. It’s not about approval of the war - but honoring lives. It’s not about politics or rhetoric - but Freedom. Remember 9 - 11

Why Does America have to Lead - why not other countries...? I heard a friend of mine make what I believe was a foolish statement - it went like this " Why Does America has to lead the world - why not let the other countries do it ?" What he was referring in a later comment was - that America acts like it's the only one that knows right from wrong and that people hate us because "we act like the world boss". He may have a point - but my question would be - who then, if not America? Really think about it - we suffered a terrorist attack and we struck back. How many other European countries have suffered terrorist attacks and have taken a massive undertaking to retaliate? Here is another point - no matter if we were right or wrong - we started the war in Iraq and we had the resolve to continue - while other countries started to wane and run in fear. Fear of political unrest, fear of terrorist, fear of criticism.... Spain was attacked by terrorist and 191 people die...

You might think it's funny, but you could help your child today get ready for retirement. It's not crazy and personally - being one who is in the "financial planner" field you could start it as simple as $25 to $50 a month. Since your child is yougn and has 40 to 50 years to sock away money - even a small amount benefits them. The hard part is getting them to continue saving for retirment once thier old enough to do it on thier own.

I was wondering if your pro Iraq war and for the Soldiers staying to finish the job - what does this picture make you think and feel? I personally believe that it would be another vietnam if we leave. A crime [ right or wrong ] to send our Soldiers and then not give them the support they need or allow them to win.
