um no I can specifically point out a real reason why we need bases sometimes in foreign countries especially since I live in that country...in Honduras there was huge political unrest because of a president being removed in 2009 for wanting to throw out the constitution...Chavez from Venezuela wanted to and insisted on invading Honduras, the US was against that idea as were others..If there had been no US base I have no doubt that Nicaragua and Venezuela would have invaded Honduras causing a war throughout latin America and in case you forgot that is your backyard...and it would have spread and caused you grief in the US.
For the one that said that he was against Perry because of immigration policies..it seems you need to brush up on Ron Paul's actual immigration policy...
So you think we need to spend 1.3 trillion dollars a year to maintain an empire so if one country decides to attack another we can dedicate more tax dollars and the lives of our soldiers to protect another nation??
Here is a CLUE
Were broke, weve been printing money for the last ten years to try and keep our heads above water, but now all that money we printed is pulling us down. Any increase the interest rate will immeadiatly bankrupt the government.
it is more than one country attacking another.....an attack like that would cause other Latin American countries to jump in on either side..had Venezuela invaded Panama and Colombia would have responded against him and his croonies...his croonies are obligated to jump in and help him...the Central American countries with the exception of Nicaragua would have lined up against Chavez and then Mexico would jump in and you would have an entire Latin American war on your hands right in your back yard..and refugees from all of those countries in the US. You do realize that Chavez has a military agreement with South American countries in his ALBA agreements right?
