Mr.Conley said:So here is my question, which one saves more lives? Spending $800 billion dollar fighting an enemy that, over the last 50 years, has killed approximately 3,000 Americans, or use the money to find a cure to heart disease, which kills 1 million people yearly, or to reduce the number of fatal accidents, which kills 42,000 annually, along with several dozen other major afflictions, all for significantly smaller amount of cash and effort. You choose.
The answer is: Spending 800 billion on fighting an enemy that wants to kill us all, doesn't matter that they haven't succeeded in killing as much as disease does. Whats the point of dumping all that money into trying to find a fountain of youth ect. when they could all just be wiped out by terrorists? I agree borders need to be secured much more tightly, but we also need to prevent terrorists from getting those kinds of weapons.
Sorry if I misquouted, was cut n' pasting.
