If the US and UK didnt go into Iraq in the first place, they wouldnt be getting killed by Iranian supplied weapons now. It was about oil and nothing else.

There is NO country threatening the UK or the US with an invasion as far as I know.
Some of you yanks ought to get out more and leave your country and visit others instead of learning about the world from the internet.

I guess Wotan has never experienced freedom, ProfEmeritus. Americans DO NOT want to be socialist! Period. We don't need a government taking care of us like puppies in a kennel.

I think you may be confusing communist with socialism. As far as I can see most of what he is proposing, the rest of the western world have already.

It's actually the capitalist system which creates the need for welfare. In a true socialist economy there is no need for welfare. Take a look at the current housing crisis, it's capitalism that allowed this to happen, and now many people (and some companies) require the help of welfare.
