Some paraphrased questions, from Honolulu Advertiser editorial columnist David Shapiro. Think about them when U.S. citizens go to the polls in November:
-
Did President Bush exercise sound judgment by going to war in Afghanistan and Iraq?
-
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)?
-
Has the preoccupation with the Middle-East blinded us to the real and possibly present danger from North Korea?
-
Having instituted regime change, no matter what we now do in Afghanistan or Iraq, aren't both headed towards civil war?
-
What are our goals, how will we achieve them, and how will we know when we have met them?
Aloha!
