This is a hard question for me because I still don’t fully understand how it all works, even after reading about it. But I think that we have to be very carefully when making alliances, and when deciding when to support those allies and when to stand down. I think that when regarding the economy it is best to have trade alliances with many. However, when alliances bring on war this can be a very costly situation to our country.
I don’t think that we should be getting involved in a war unless it is directly involving our country. I think that we must weigh the pros and cons of supporting other countries and their battles before we get involved. And have to be aware of the benefits they can bring to us if we ever need their assistance in a war. But like I said this is a difficult situation for me to comment on because I am still a little confused on how it works.

This link is to a video I watched regarding foreign policy in the US and war. I think that some of his opinions are a little far out there, but I agree on one thing he talks about and this is that Washington likes war.
Hello Ellie,
ReplyDeleteFirst let me start by saying I don't think you are being any more redundant than the rest of us are in this class. I agree that while we have a strong government we have a lot of work to do. For instance with the recent budgeting problems; people who are working for the government were being told they may not be able to work and they would not get paid, but yet our Congressmen would still get paid. How is that okay?
Your blog is very eye catching; I like that. I also like the links that you have used in it. The cartoons are great; I had not thought of using those in mine. I think that even though you feel you don't understand a particular piece that we are discussing you come across as if you do. You're thoughts are well organized and complete.
Over all your blog has been very good and informative. I enjoy reading it.
