Every other time in history before, when the US govt has done things like this, it's always left us stronger and been done for the good of 300 mil. people.
How can attacking a sovereign country be "for the good" of all Americans? For whose good? Yours? Mine? Furthermore, if you consider yourself a human being, please explain how the economic benefit of 300 million people (which is bullshit, because it's usually a handfull of people who benefit the most) supercedes the right to exist of an entire population (Iraq, Vietnam, Nicaragua, etc.)? I mean, we're getting to the point that our discourse now sounds pseudo-fascist. Can't hide it now!
I truly think it's the same here. Cheney and rummy and others served the country their whole lives - i highly doubt they just decided in 2001 to crash the place. I think they were willing to take the hit initially for a decade or 2 in the PR dept, in order to fulfill longterm US goals. I really do. Everything they've done in their lives was about furthering US interests.
Right, right. You're part of the crowd that believes that corporations, and those who run them, have a higher motive than to create profit for their shareholders, and that is to safeguard the economic interests of all Americans by ordering American troops to invade a sovereign country and murder close to 100,000 individuals. Right, right. Furthermore, you go on to say that they've spent their lives furthering US interests. HOW?!
You see, reality tells me otherwise. When time came to put together a ticket, on the repugnant side, the powers-that-be chose an individual devoid of the capability for intelectual thinking (Bush) and an ex-Big Oil CEO. This was not by chance. While the monkey was pranced around for all to see and awe at talking about values and how our country is the most democratic (even though we're a republic) state in the history of mankind (never mind slavery or the slaughter of Native Americans,) the other individual, Cheney was hard at work putting together an invasion in order to STEAL someone else's resources in the name of some Americans (I guess you include yourself in that group, I sure as hell don't).
The invasion was carried out and Americans are paying almost $ 4.00 per gallon (almost $4.00 for milk, $ 2.00 for a fucking loaf of bread!, etc.) and I'm still sitting here trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle, trying to see your point of view. And I can't. The sole motivator for the Cheney types is self preservation, benefit and power. Their "interest" in serving their country is such as long as it coincides with their self interest, meaning their company making record profits (which they are nowadays, as opposed to the US government). As soon as both interest take a different route, MAKE NO MISTAKE, they will drop your ass faster than you can say "I'm stupid".
if there is a NWo apect, as pnac clearly defines, its the USA in teh driving seat, and its really more of a global parntership deal, with the US running the show. It's the reality of such a connected world.
So yeah, I dont like being lied to, but I do believe they are doing it for our best interest. We're just living thru the initial suckiness of it all.
And you don't see anything wrong with your last statement?
