In the days of old
when knights were bold
and the only currency was gold
the lord's, and the kings
with all of their rings
would buy up all of their things
for the cleavage filled breasts
to believe they were best
the wars were fought to the test
of testosterone
that made them all feel so alone
until they marched their way back home
Doug Boggs, 2008
From the top of my head...
I will continue to ponder what it takes to right the wrongs we have brought on ourselves. At this point, anyone in our time whom has witnesses these past 30-40 years I would think would begin to understand that war is not good government policy.
It does create good economics for the war mongers. Think of Halliberton, Bechtel, Blackwater, KBR, DynCorp International, L3 Communciations, Fluor Corp., Perini Corp., Tetra Tech, General Dynamics, and so many more. There is nothing wrong with a company trying to make a living, as this is capitalism. Although making a living by finding or creating wars that kill millions of innocent people and destroy an entire country's infrastructure is simply repeating what Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and others did. Our current administration has shown us that we simply have another leader trying to make society as a whole the way that they see it in their eyes.
In our ever changing (or is it) and shrinking world it would be best for the various governmental organizations to work together and bring societies and governments together. The past seven years have been dominated by an administration that is living in the past. Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney truly feel that if they ruffle their feathers enough the people of the world will still think that Amerika is the all around global leader, as we have been since 1945.
Those days are over people, and there is NOTHING wrong with that. To know when to stand down and work to unite people makes a much better man, woman and human being than simply trying to instill ones own beliefs on others and shoving it down their throats.
We, as Americans, have had to be recipients of this wrath as well. The fear based propaganda wheels must stop turning. I just don't believe that God, the one that I know of, told Mr. Bush that he was to attack Iraq. This is preposterous. Is there more than one God? And even still what ever happened to our separation of church and state. Keep your politics political and your religion separate. This is why the Middle East has been in chaos for tens of centuries as that region has been ruled through a faction of religious political systems for eons.
Now, McCain is on the same track to keep things more of the same. This has got to stop!
It doesn't take but only a moment to stop and listen to the words of so many of the prophets such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and others that they are all saying the same things. I don't seem to remember that kill and destroy for the betterment of democracy, capitalism, and the dollar is any part of their messages...
