Once again, we have absolute proof of the inadequacy of our government and its military/diplomatic backup. In addition to the 4,000 plus Americans who bled out in Iraq, include the lost trillions in cash that leaves us fighting to see whether it will be garbage pickup or police who gets cut. Yessirreebob, we are now learning for sure that we lost our war in Iraq which Dubya and his regime said was done to bring freedom and democracy to the mid east.
Facts are, we weren't able to succeed at installing democracy at the point of a gun in Cuba in 1898, not in the Philippines in 1899-1902, not in Vietnam 1964-1975, not in Somalia, not in Kosovo, not in Iraq, and not in Afghanstan --it seems that the only winners of our seemingly unending spate of lost wars ... are the arms manufacturers.
Screw Amerika's foreign policy and the governments that give the orders. The people of this country are basically honest, they care about others, they are ready to give to charity or to causes when folks anywhere are in deep trouble. But do not think for a microsecond ... no, make that a nano-second ... that the majority of our leaders ever gave a shit for the humans who they gleefully massacred or tortured because they stood in the way of America's National Interests. "It's in our national interests to project power and dictate politics wherever we want." Or, read it as "murder doesn't really count when the victims are opposing us and democracy."
Like I've said hundreds of times before, America was founded by the rich, for the rich and of the rich. They have never hesitated to massacre when there was money to be made.
It would seem the only hope we have is that we now have the internet and we are beginning to catch on.
Amerika Inc is not America!
Reality.
