What Are We Doing?

Some paraphrased questions, from Honolulu Advertiser editorial columnist David Shapiro. Think about them when U.S. citizens go to the polls in November:

  1. Did President Bush exercise sound judgment by going to war in Afghanistan and Iraq?

  2. Is the cost of the wars worth the record federal budget deficits that will tie our hands when we need to spend money on other areas (including security)?

  3. Has the preoccupation with the Middle-East blinded us to the real and possibly present danger from North Korea?

  4. Having instituted regime change, no matter what we now do in Afghanistan or Iraq, aren't both headed towards civil war?

  5. What are our goals, how will we achieve them, and how will we know when we have met them?

Aloha!
