4. Is it just me

Our leaders seem all powerful when they can resolve a problem with a military solution. But if there's no military solution they're like the emperor w/o clothes....

5. Our leaders aren't failing to solve problems, they're ACTIVELY HELPING to create them.

In this case, they're setting a precedent of "tough shit, we don't answer to the public!"

6. You're on your own, Citizens.

Since when is drinking when thirsty a 'decision'?
