Romney Will Give Americans Another War.

It's no secret that the majority of Americans did not look favorably on our war with Iraq, or with the president that took us into that mess.  So why would anybody advocate another war with a country that has not provoked us?  At this point in time, it's a good way to commit political suicide.  

Enter Mitt Romney,  Someone forgot to plug him in the another night to recharge, apparently forcing a system-wide reboot.  A few flips weren't saved, so they flopped.  It was quite the disaster for his management team.

N.A.T.O. And The War Powers Act.


I want to start this post with a brief introduction that's given to any new member of NATO* to give you all an idea of which direction I'm going with this.  (*Not really)


So you've decided to join the North American Treaty Organization?  Well, congratulations!  You are now the twenty-seventh member country to put world peace ahead of your petty squabbles with that silly country next door.

Here are the other 26 members of NATO:

-Belgium
-Bulgaria
-Canada
-Czech Republic
-Denmark
-Estonia
-Germany
-Greece
-Hungary
-Iceland
-Italy 
-Latvia
-Lithuania
-Luxembourg
-Netherlands
-Norway
-Poland
-Portugal
-Romania
-Slovakia
-Slovenia
-Spain
-Turkey
-United Kingdom
-United States of America

Your first goal as a member of NATO is to get to know your new allies!  These 26 countries are now united with you, and will no longer attack your blossoming nation.  Keep in mind that, while they will come to your aid against invaders, you must also show your support by defending them in case of an attack.  

NATO was formed shortly after the end of WWII, and is an organization of allies intent on keeping world peace with the mere threat of, "Don't do it or we will all come after you."  It sounds intimidating and a bit dark, but it usually works and force is not always necessary.
