To be fair, those are the only options the G20 is considering.

This is like a fat person try to decide whether they should lose weight by eating more or exercising less.

Actually, both were used to fix my broken femur..... Drilled into both sides of my knee, pounded stainless steel rods through the femur with small sledgehammer.

And on a related note...
Obama, Geithner: Recession requires global action

"We can do a really good job here at home, with a whole host of policies, but if you continue to see deterioration in the world economy, that's going to set us back," President Barack Obama said in the Oval Office following a briefing by Geithner.

Brilliant politics, because when the stimulus plan produces counter-productive results, he can blame the failure on other countries not doing their part for the international stimulus plan. Can the US start attacking countries that aren't properly stimulating the world economy?

I think shipping 20 of these over to the G20 meeting would be a good investment...

Who's with me?

Well, the last time I was fat (1930s), I ate more and exercised less. So that's a proven solution!

If your a U.S citizen accustomed to a lifestyle. And the alternative is horrible. AND you have the military power to keep from falling into that alternative (whatever it is third world U.S. Ethiopiain U.S. etc)

The the choice is clear. You attack who you have to.

If push comes to shove I'm glad I live in america and not Austria

Depends on your viewpoint. (remember the scene from clerks about the rebellion)

I know it's a crappy viewpoint but if you think the world is a better place with the U.S. at the forefront you should favor attacks.

If you think the world would be a better place with russia or china in charge then you should be against the attacks.
