He made some good points. The war was not necessary. I'm forgetting something...I remember he said the americans should focus on fixing their own bridges, but did he say that eventually, the bridges they ruined in others countries be fixed by the americans? It would be irresponsible and selfish of him to neglect the damages his fellow americans did to other people's land. I'm just too lazy to watch the video again.

Not only does he say "the war" was unnecessary, but also unethical for various reasons, a violation against taxpayers being one of them, Iraq not having attacked the US being another.
And, you heard him right :P... he doesn't want to fix the bridges his fellow Americans destroyed. You could tell he struggled with the question a little, and sees the validity in the argument. In fairness though, it's not HIM that is being irresponsible and selfish, it's Bush and Clinton and all the guys that fucked things up in the first place. They should be the ones to pay for THEIR mistakes. Why should 70% (?) of the population (that is anti-war) have to pay for the reckless and retarded expenditures of the other 30%? |
