Once upon a time there was a popular song that asserted, "War! Huh!...What is it good for? Absolutely nuthin'! Say it again..." (insert blaring horns; I totally dislike blaring horns. And war.)
Nowadays people realize that war is 'good for' many things such as plundering other people's resources and establishing imperialist power bases on behalf of a 'new world order' of global domination, aka, a one world government. We now know that it's 'good for' a select few, but really really bad for anyone who gets in the elitist Vulcans' way and their 'vision' of The Great Plan of universal power.
Wonder how much oil and gas it would save the US to stop bombing other countries and bring our soldiers home from Middle Eastern sands?
Here's Rep. Dennis Kucinich telling of another 'use' for war, and he's right:

Imagine if the US had approached Iraq to say, "Look, we're running out of oil. Can we trade you some of our goods for oil?" Imagine what beneficial outcomes may have arisen from this scenario.
ReplyDeleteBut nooooooooooooooooo! We had to go take it by force. "Kick their ass, take their gas!" was the refrain heard hereabouts by certain Republican types. Says a lot about them.
Here's another piece of the puzzle.

You can use this site to browse stats on just where all this money is coming from or going out to, all these trips to foreign lands on our dime, how much these Congress-crooks "earn", and so forth.
Kieron, thanks. Am just returned from a weekend out of town and will follow the link you provide.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the simple, logical plan you (and I) favor couldn't work since power and control are behind their resource plundering. Without such a base desire, oil-in-trade would be a potential but as we know, that isn't enough for such greedy-grabbers who intend to dominate the world or kill millions trying. jc
