Must I remind people that there has never been a war declared legal by the UN. It's not like the US is radically breaking precedent, what is radical is the idea that there is one. Every war has been illegal.

Gulf War I had UN Security Council approval I believe.

lonestar2004 said: did food prices go up 25-35% due to the printing of ecessive paper???
Food and fuel prices have risen quite a bit where I live. These two items are not included in the core CPI figures unless they are trending downwards. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, consumer prices increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 9.4 percent in the third quarter of 2005. It seems that a lot of 'easy' money has found it's way into real estate as we are currently experiencing a bubble in that market, gold and other commodities are also trending sharply upwards. Keep an eye out for deflation of the real estate bubble, the money created through debt expansion will migrate to other areas of the economy and we may then see a sharper rise in prices in other areas.
Rights to future U.S. tax revenues are being bought up by other countries, such as China. What would happen if the U.S. economy slowed significantly, then the Chinese wouldn't have as many buyers for their goods and hence would have less money to buy U.S. debt at the same time the U.S. government's relief payments would increase? We need fiscal responsibility, we need it now.

Ain't gonna happen. Name me one nation throughout history that had irresponsible fiscal policies at one time and that managed to turn things around and balance the books.

I think New Zealand performed a major turn around a few years ago. If I recall, it was a labor government that did it, not because they wanted to, but because they had to. Sooner or later, the U.S. will have the issue forced upon it. I do not have much hope that the government will handle the situation wisely.
