Will the dead see justice?
Will there be a reversal?
Will the world ever forgive?

Good and accurate post.

Hi Ken,
Like you said, the MIC is the dog that bites the hand of the taxpaying master.
But it is already been tamed by the neighbours.
The MIC got evicted from Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia and now all that multi-billion dollar technology has been exposed as worthless by the Iraqui resistance, with $100 homemade bombs ripping the guts out of million dollar armoured vehicles, and blowing the brains of those unfortunate saps who chose to serve the MIC.
The use of just one anti-ship missile by Hezbollah, showed the Israelis that their goose is cooked as well.
If only America had directed all that knowledge and enthusiasm towards building water plants, hospitals , schools....
There is definitely an end in sight, will it be a collapse of the dollar, with riots for food and fuel, or will it be a military uprising?
Asymetrical warfare, and economic battles, and above all, the spread of information is soon going to tame the unruly beast..
After that, who knows? Like the Germans and Japanese, there will probably be a complete de-militarization, war crimes trials, rule by an international group, and a severe period of guilt and then a determination that it should never happen again.
One day, America might even become a socialist state!!



Hi Larry, thanks, I have to confess that the information and picture comes from another site, which can be accessed by clicking the title.
But then, I`m sure the original writers want to see this information made public.
"An informed electorate" and all that.

Hi Landsker,

Nice image this post points. I would add the WWII to it as well, though.

¬Allo Naj,
Yes WW2 as well, and WW1, the Crimean war, in fact we might say that one war is every war.

Always the same armament factories, the same bankers, and the same self-centered objectives.

Ah well, at least now, mostly thanks to the internet, the world is less enthusiastic about "wars for freedom".
They used to call them "Wars for Christ", but the appeal wore off after a few crusades.

Naj said...

Well I am afraid the "war for christ" mantra is being set up again!

I wouldn`t worry about it too much, the godless socialist states of China and Russia are not standing idle, they are steadilly moving away from the dollar into other currencies, even Warren Buffet sold his dollars a while back!
The dollar is unwanted, and plumetting relative to other currencies. Soon, maybe weeks or months, the american military will have to consider their position in the financial sense.
When soldiers stationed overseas (737 bases) can`t afford to eat, or they realise that they earn less than the local street sweepers and taxi drivers, then they will turn against their paymasters..
Peace.
