A Taste of Power Taken Too Far

I agree with my colleague's blog that when it comes to the United States government doing less. The founding fathers never meant for the federal government to be as powerful as it has become. Unfortunately once one has had a taste of power it is difficult to go back to being second banana. The government is not going to surrender any of its power to the people or state governments.
While I do not claim to know who is responsible for the 9/11 attacks, I do agree that our presence in Iraq is unwanted and unnecessary. It is not our place to be the big brother or policeman of the world. We went in looking for weapons of mass destruction. We found none. We should have pulled out. It is not our place to set up a new form government in another country; especially in a country where the majority of citizens do not want our help.
