I read the news today oh boy. Actually I saw on some news TV that 999 American servicemen have died in Iraq. By tomorrow, most likely, 1000 deaths. Now what have we've gotten in exchange for these lives? Do you feel safer? Have there been any benefits to the American people or the world in general? Is the middle east more stable? Has terrorism beed reduced?
NO!
Terrorism is a growth industry. Israeli and Palestine are locked in a suacide pact. Iran is working on A-bombs, not to mention North Korea ( ignored by Bush and US media) who have built them.
The real dangers have not been addressed by Bush.
Actually He's not interested in them at all. His agenda ( in part) is to transfer great wealth from the American people to a select group of industries. Munitions providers at least build a product. The support industries only feed on the destruction. Worse, they steal. Even the media has reported the abuse. Remember the over charging by Halaburtion? The public hasn't. Where is the outrage that we should be feeling!
Well it is there. A lot of people have taken to the streets over it, but little media coverage from TV networks has made it to prime time. Why? (money?) A lot of words written in editorials support the view that the war makes no sense at all, but I don't find the unabashed outcry of insult that should evident in any analysis of the Bush administrations policies.
It seems that much better writers than me are hedging there bets in print and TV.
In the meantime blood is on the ground.
And 100 billion dollars (yes billion) of future American (middle class) wealth is sinking into the sand. But that is economics and that will be the next post.
