Isn't that the way of a democracy?
Billions wasted on everything from studing the sex life of a turtle, to getting a six-lane highway built in the middle of nowhere...but hay! Your elected representative sure did bring home some of the bacon for the people who voted the idiot into office!
But when it comes time for someone to step forward and put their life on the line to stop some tinpot jackass from killing his own people.
Then its Tommy this and Tommy that and Tommy is such a hero!
With a tip o'beret to Mr. Kipling.
