Third time's the harm
Just now struck me.
World War 1 was a completely futile war, and it gave the American people a fully justified disgust with all wars. This disgust was immediately echoed by the ruling class and government.
Vietnam was a completely futile war, and it gave the American people a fully justified disgust with all wars. This disgust was immediately echoed by the ruling class and government.
Afghanistan AND Iraq 1 AND Iraq 2 were
THREE completely futile wars, and they gave the American people a fully justified disgust with all wars......
But the ruling class is still roaring ahead with plans for more wars.
Only Ron Paul is echoing the popular disgust, but the rest of the ruling class is trying very hard to delete him from any chance at power. They will succeed one way or another, even if they have to suicide him.
In 1918 and 1974 our government was somewhat responsive. Not now.
