Just past four in the morning right now, and i"M typing slow, but if I ramble this is why.
"Since we just concluded a war in Iraq, which was supposed to be a part of the vague "war on terror," most of my opinions will be influenced by this."
The war on terror is media bait, a comfortable lie that keeps the average citizen from questioning the morality of military action. We engineered the Moslem uprising to counter Soviet bids for land -They sough oil reseviours and warm water ports, andthe US decided that by any meas necessary this must not come to pass. I touched on this in another thread moredetail. What we see now are Cold Warrors putting to sleep the rabid dog that they helped create. It can't be muzzled it can;'tbe controlled, extermination is all thats left. Read the link, or what I'm saying won't make any sense.

I oughtto expamd on it. So much more to say, but it doesn't really matter. All sounds like crazy talk. Course, thsi does too.
"In my opinion, our foreign policy only looks beyond the end of our noses."
Uncontestably true.
" Al Qaeda has camps in Afghan istan, so bomb Afghanistan, destroy the institution. Saddam Hussein supposedly presents a security risk to us, so bomb his infrastructure, kill him, his family, and it'll end (a VERY Machiavellian concept, btw)."
Fuck, I'm telling you, put it in perspective. Bush the First knew how dangerous the mojahedin and their allies were and wanted to shut them down then in 91 or 96, Having trouble thinking right now. Dates and time it all seems the same. Like that stupid fucking movie, Momento. Shits all backwards.
Bush. He jumped at the first excue to go into the Middle East with military aggression. Remember the Kuwait hospitol supposedly sacked by Hussein? His bidding chip for American support for what was otherwise a legitmate Iraqi concern to protect their oil from encroachment by a neighbouring country. . .Anyway. Hospitol. Unsubstantiated. Utterly false. It's all a game, or it was, and now were sweeping the board. Necessary
"Never ONCE do I feel that we question the reasoning behind our enemy's motives."
Not an enemy, a pawn Kevin. They aren't important enough to understand, because ultimately, their kowledge is based upon half truths weve taught them.
"We are NOT like them. We could NEVER be like them."
We're worse, because we have to be. Price of freedom is blood. I don't know if you truly fathom how precarious the future of United States as during the Coldwar, but it wasn't a joke. Noone was laughing.
"Perhaps if Western literature WAS more common there, maybe riots and violence wouldn't have been the result of a toppled dictatorship."
Wouldn't change anything. I see where you're coming from, and yes, we won't know how effective out interference will be for years to come, but ultimately it doesn't matter. War isn't going to end, ever. Were effective short term, and thats the scope of any presidents sight. One term to anothe.
Too profitable. War that is
Threaded Mode
