DONALD RUMSFLED'S CHRISTMAS CARD

[ranxer]

i guess we don't look at it the same way.
the results that outwheigh most any benefits you can name are things like a
-reduction in respect etc. worldwide,
-a huge dept of lies to maintain,
-monster presence to maintain that is still a gamble with many lives and violates many rules of a just society,
-which costs a ton
-involves many of our family members, coworkers etc. that
are being exposed to the hell of war. not to mention innocents and unwilling combatants.
-an increase in number of enemies, (defending what they see as attacks on thier homeland
-a repeat of pre-emptive military imperialism that only the U.S. is allowed to do. reaffirming the notion that war solves problems etc

these long term problems created by the bush administration have driven a new spurt in a security police state economy but the cost will be coming in for many years. plus, part of this economic 'recovery' is a borrowing on the future that may backfire.
