After the big war, WWII, the US was involved in the rebuilding of Germany and Japan, among others….but those were the biggest recipients of large injections of American cash….we help with all aspects of their respective societies…..from bridges to constitutions to actual governments….we were deeply involved….and look what that has done….those two nations became the leaders of the international economic world…all with the help of the US…..

Now, a quick trip in my magical mystery time machine port-a-let…….we skip ahead to the 21st century…..the US invaded and occupied two more countries….Afghanistan and Iraq…..and after relieving the countries of the dastardly leaders…..we set about building a nation from the ground up…..forced democracy..,…..and massive help with infrastructure as well……legislative construction all in the name of democracy……it was yet another story of nation building by the US……

There is been many to condemn our efforts to impose a political process on people that may NOT be ready or even want it….I have been one of those doing the condemning….I feel that it is NOT our place to tell others what they want or what they need, especially on how they should be governed….but beyond that I would like to say……

We DO need nation building…only the nation that we should be helping to improve is…… our own!  We need to spend all the cash that we are now pissing away in Iraq and Afghanistan to be spent right here in the good old US of A…….our infrastructure is falling down around our ears or schools are sadly inadequate…the cash would be much better spent on rebuilding our country and let others fend for themselves…..we have children right here that go to bed hungry and old people eating cat food without adequate housing…we need the nation building as much if not more than the other parts of the world that we feel are so needy….the US is as needy as anywhere else…..

Spend the money here….Nation build here……make the US as prosperous as you want other countries to be….we deserve a fighting chance from our government……
