it truly saddens me to see such a lack of interest in the space program. Americans have no ballz anymore, what happened to "the space race?" Guess we're just gonna keel over and let everyone else take the lead, and that won't take long. We have already lost the enormous lead we once had.
It's not a lack of interest. It's a lack of money.

and Mitsu, niether good or bad, you just seem different. Like maybe your having some kind of personal realization. And it doesn't have anything to do with this thread, just you in general.

So, we ought to just pull out right now and leave the region destabilized? Right or wrong, we need to finish what we started otherwise things will get worse.
It's also the economy. The war didn't cause our economic issues. If anything, history shows that wars give an economic boost. WWII is a prime example. It was WWII that helped pull the US out of the depression.
So yes, it's a lack of finances.

WWII was very different in the way it effected the economy, in WWII we put in to action HUGE munitions plants. Started producing shit at a rate no place in the world could possibly compete with. There was an old german joke, I believe it went something like this: "one german tank can take out 10 american tanks, but they always have 11" This war has NOT increased american output like that, not by any stretch of the imagination. Not to mention the fact we also were supplying other military's armies with arms too, which again, we are not doing anywhere near the extent that we did in WWII. This war has not helped the economy, not like WWII.

Yeah I know. However, the army is still using tons of supplies more than it would if we were not in Iraq which come from American companies. I believe our economy may be worse off if this were not true.

maybe, maybe not. the soldiers being home spending money could be a bigger boon to the economy, you cant really say either way. not this time, its too close to call.
