American War On Terror And Funding

I think its time we ask our politicians to explain to us why we are fighting war on terror in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan when no other substantial countries in that area really seems to care about this war. Are we fighting this war to protect America or are we fighting this war to protect American businesses that have gone abroad? If the war on terror is a so called global war then why has China and India, who are much more on the front lines of this battle than we are, not involved in this war? China and India stand to gain the most from stability in this region and yet they do nothing to contribute towards addressing the war on terror. In addition, while America wastes valuable tax dollars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to fight a war, China and India are using their money to build infrastructure and produce better education and they are winning the war of economic attrition which is contributing to the domestic unemployment problem in America. While America goes into deficit to fight a war half way around the world, China and India are building cash surpluses while offering nothing to address the war on terror occurring right on their own front porch. We must remember that radical Islam has a severe distaste for India based on their religious differences, Pakistan was once India and it was given to the radical Islamists to pacify them from further attacking Indians who were non-Muslim. And the fact that China suppresses religion really infuriates radical Muslims and yet all of the war on terror focus and hatred is directed towards America because America is the one who is standing out alone fighting the war on terror. Sure Canada, Australia, and other countries are contributing but why doesn’t Saudi Arabia, Jordan, China, and India contribute as well since they are dead in the eyes of extremism? It’s simple. Because big business in the United States wants American soldiers in the area to protect their outsourcing and jobsourcing operations abroad but I say we must ask our politicians to end this practice and bring our soldiers back home. Maybe we need to remind them of the rising drug wars occurring in our border towns, or the rising kidnapping problem occurring in the Arizona and New Mexico areas, or how about we just remind them that we here in Michigan now have 100 less State Troopers protecting us because our state has lost tax revenue because big business has left our state and opened up in China and India. Well maybe if China and India did their share to protect their part of the world from extremism we here in the United States could focus more on economy and education like they do in India and China. It’s time we joined the real war of our generation which is the economic war and economic terrorism that so-called developing nations like China and India are exploiting to usurp American prosperity.
