W.A.T.C.H.

It's a simple question with a heavy answer. Since the start of the war in the Middle East many families have wondered when their loved ones are coming home. I myself wonder the same thing. I have friends and family that either served there or are currently deployed there. I have always known that in tough economic times wars have served as a way to create jobs as well as income for the families of the soldiers that serve, and for the civilians that don't. In this time and war our country manufactures very little of its own exports, leaving fewer and fewer jobs for the citizens to do, weakening the economy at home and leaving the lions share of income production to the relatively few soldiers. So just the mere idea that it will end soon and all our loved ones will return is a bleak one at best. The state of the world we live in is such that we unfortunately need to have a source of income that extends past the borders of our own country. I still feel strongly about the inappropriate actions of how it is currently being carried out. If the countries of the world could pull together, we could find a solution to most any problem. Whether it be energy, medical, or economical, our world needs us all to work together if there is ever to be a stabilized economy not just one country holding the ball.
