If it did, perhaps, we would not have been involved in the mess which the Neocons have gotten us into today.<BR/><BR/>Why won’t Americans ever learn their lessons from History? There is a saying out there in the world and it has proven true so far and that is, “Wherever the Yanks go and which ever country they touch, screws up”. Why? Why can’t we accept people and their countries the way they are and not meddle in their internal affairs? Why do we always meddle in other people’s affairs and invent some false pretexts in so doing?<BR/><BR/>Take the Vietnam war. Why did we go thousands of miles across the sea, to invade this small and poor country which consists mainly of agriculture dependent peasants to kill, to maim, to rape, to pillage and destroy anything that moves and yet when beaten to a pulp despite our unlimited and most up-to-date weaponry, many of our veterans still hate them as gooks and geeks and regard any Asian even remotely resembling a Vietnamese with hatred still in their hearts? <BR/><BR/>What was the lesson here? What have we achieved? Did it bolstered America’s image in the world? More importantly, did it make people love and honour Americans? <BR/><BR/>I remembered that after we were beaten in Vietnam, the powers that be declared the America will never again be involved in another land war. So how come, we are involved in the Iraq & Afghanistan war without end now?<BR/><BR/>I also remembered reading in one of Rupert Murdoch’s views that when the Iraq war is won, petrol will be cheaper than ever. Did that prediction come to fruition? The answer is obvious. And other nations may well say, “Serves America right” unfortunately, we are dragging the whole world under with foolishness.<BR/><BR/>It has been on record that the Neocons wants a new period of American dominance on land, on the sea and in space and unless the world acquiesce, it will not let it rest. <BR/><BR/>Well, the same Neocons have now nearly brought the country to its knees and yet the Bush regime continue to spend the nations wealth like there is no tomorrow and Congress follows meekly either because it is cowed by the overpowering Bush persona or it is swallowing another of the simple message of simple remedy of the Bush’s kind.<BR/><BR/>When eventually all our young men and women have gone to their graves as canon fodder, will we then ever learn?<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is though the president and his neocon advisers want war, it is other peoples’ sons and daughters who are forced to fight their wars. However, their own sons and daughters are safely hidden or protected from engaging in such loathsome activiies. Of course, a palatable reason has to be invented to encourage the more jingoistically inclined to people to willingly go to lay down their lives for their country. And we know well how our minds were manipulated with lies, threats and homeland security and all that. <BR/><BR/>I think Americans are inherently greedy people and always want other peoples’ goods, property (intellectual or otherwise) for little or nothing and thinks that all good things belong to America and Americans. If they cannot do this, then they would threaten them militarily and invade. (For those who disagree, read your history)<BR/><BR/>Look at our love affair with oil. While we still had the chance to research and build cars with alternative energy sources, Bush did nothing to encourge it but when the crunch came, he blamed Americans for their love affairs with oil and yet he still did nothing positive to wean us from it.<BR/><BR/>The whole presidency of GWB is predicated on payback. Payback to the millionares who backed him in his elections. Look at the Iraq debacle; what has America or Amercans gain from this adventure? Cheaper oil? Higher prestige in the eyes of the world? Respect for America and Americans? Whilst the parents of soldiers who served and died in this foreign land believing that their sons and daughters are fighting for the security of their homeland, companies like Hulliburton are stuffing duffle bags full of money “bricks” nonchalantly from the vaults of Saddam Hussein to enrich company coffers. What do the parents of the dead soldiers get? It is best answered by the parents themselves. So the real reason, your sons and daughters are dying is not to enrich your family but that of companies which are linked to the presidents or his co-horts.<BR/><BR/>Those soldiers returnees who are maimed and psychologically affected are not even given adequate care on their return to the homeland, a far cry from the propaganda of the recruiting message.<BR/><BR/>I can go on and on. But I am sure you already know the answers.<BR/><BR/>If America thinks it can stop other nations from coming up and prospering and progressing by military threat, it must really be dreaming. It is like trying to stop mushrooms from emerging from the soil by trampling on the ground. Or perhaps King Canute in trying to stem the rising tide?<BR/><BR/>Wordwarrior.wordwarriorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00439855973843708502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-90586807049847163122008-09-24T18:36:00.000-06:002008-09-24T18:36:00.000-06:00How can so many Americans get it so wrong for so l...How can so many Americans get it so wrong for so long?

There is no guarantee it could be contained. Just like both world wars, which kept spreading and spreading until the whole world was at war.<BR/><BR/>We Americans grew up in a country where there was always more of everything. We have become convinced all resources are limitless. We could waste or throw away as much as we wished of everything and there was always more to be had. Not only material things, people too. We throw away friends and family when we get tired of them, knowing that there will always be more where they came from. This is truly perverted.<BR/><BR/>Following a nuclear war, however, the world and especially the USA would NEVER recover to where it is today. The USA was once the world's biggest oil producer, and had far greater oil reserves at one time than even Saudi Arabia. Just like everything else, there was always more oil where the last barrel came from. This vast oil energy built our cities, our skyscrapers, our highways, our bridges, our dams, our water infrastructure, our sewage disposal systems, our pharmacology, our railroads, our ships, our planes, everything we see around us. That oil is now almost gone - worldwide. What we have now, or will build in the next 15-20 years, is probably all we are going to have - ever. If we wantonly destroy it or throw it away, there will NOT be an unlimited supply of oil to rebuild it. We will be back to rebuilding our roads and buildings with wheelbarrows and oxen. And treating disease with leeches and herbs. And fetching water from the nearest river. With horses, plows and wheelbarrows, it would be impossible to rebuild what we have now. We would be in the new Dark Ages.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-60308174520779347182008-01-28T23:19:00.000-07:002008-01-28T23:19:00.000-07:00I have a son as well and absolutely refuse to allo...I have a son as well and absolutely refuse to allow him to serve as imperial cannon fodder in the never-ending wars. I did some research and New Zealand looks like a really nice place. They rank #1 in anti-corruption. Unlike here, their European-Indian wars were very short in duration and they still have a very sizable native population. Their national rugby team even performs a ritual native dance at the beginning of every match, in honor of the land's heritage.<BR/><BR/>My point is, if you live in a house in a bad neighborhood. Rather than trying to rehabilitate all of your neighbors it is far simpler to move to a better area. There is no shame in simply giving up and moving to greener pastures. In fact it is perfectly natural.<BR/><BR/>We (the good hearted intelligentsia) have lost this war of ideas. The sooner we accept this and get the hell outta dodge the better off we will be. It may be poetic to go down with the ship or fight the good fight, but when it comes to caring for our children I think prudence trumps all. Get your passports in order and I'll see you in our new land.Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11663834737721043500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-91150814096908043662008-01-28T18:29:00.000-07:002008-01-28T18:29:00.000-07:00If you are truly concerned about the nuclear possi...If you are truly concerned about the nuclear possibilities, go to oism.org (Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine) and search for Fighting Chance - a true 'civil defense' manualPhill Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-17497611420527099222008-01-28T18:24:00.000-07:002008-01-28T18:24:00.000-07:00personally I have no problem with Israel joining N...personally I have no problem with Israel joining NATO -- just as soon as the US is OUT!Phill Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-66435246715379290942008-01-28T08:14:00.000-07:002008-01-28T08:14:00.000-07:00How do Americans, considered to be the richest and...How do Americans, considered to be the richest and smartest people on earth can even countenance the use of Nuclear weapons as a pre-emptive measure against non-compliant nations are beyond my understanding.<BR/><BR/>Do they think they are invincible and bullet proof?<BR/><BR/>In an all-out nuclear war, Americans have the most to lose for they have more of the world's goods, resources and money than anyone else. <BR/><BR/>Those who died first in a nuclear holocaust, are the lucky ones while those remaining will suffer the most excruciating pain and slow death with their skin erupting with all manner of sores and diseases and being slowly poisoned by the very air they breathe and the water they drink. It this does not finish off the human race, the ensuing nuclear winter will certainly finish the job.<BR/><BR/>Is this the scenario most Americans want? They will certainly get this if they will, like lemmings follow their current president into pre-emptive wars one after the other and threaten others with their awesome cache of nuclear weapons of mass destruction. <BR/><BR/>What mad world vision do we have in an enlightened America?wordwarriornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-51167044274318639172008-01-27T09:37:00.000-07:002008-01-27T09:37:00.000-07:00I received a lengthy, exquisitely written, and mos...I received a lengthy, exquisitely written, and most fascinating letter from an individual whose contributions to the comments section have been of similar quality. At the risk of offending the rest of you, I'd like to address some comments to him, beginning with a request for an e-mail address.<BR/><BR/>I'm indebted to you for your fascinating observations about the deeper roots of our nation's Anglo-Saxon heritage. That was a very edifying discussion, as were your comments about the ethnic and cultural tributaries that created modern Russia. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Putin is someone for whom I have a certain ambivalent respect and even an element of envy: He is a capable, sober, accomplished leader, even if he's not the dashing "Stirlitz"-style action hero depicted in official propaganda. And I have to admire the guy's composure in the face of several years of relentless provocations from Washington. <BR/><BR/>There's no evading the fact that he is a hard case, and just as little point in denying that he is an authentic Russian patriot who is much admired by his countrymen. Your description of Putin's forbearance reflecting a desire that America's ruling elite "come to [its] senses" strikes me as very credible, as does the statement that he likes Americans as people.<BR/><BR/>I've never met a Russian I haven't liked and respected. Some of them admire Putin a great deal; others (including a very talented young businessman mentioned in my blog a while ago) are terrified of him, for what appear to be very plausible reasons. Both of those assessments may very well be correct. <BR/><BR/>It would be very helpful to me if you could put me in touch with some of the people who have met and dealt with Mr. Putin.<BR/><BR/>There's a great deal more in your fascinating letter I'd like to discuss, but in the interests of time (I'm trying to get ready for church), I'll simply thank you for sharing your insights with me.William N.

Your won...Dear Mr. Grigg,<BR/><BR/>You run a remarkable site. Your wonderful essays seem to attract literate, thoughtful, and coherent commentators, many of whose postings provoke real thought and insight. Marvelous.<BR/><BR/>I love your way with words. "George Bush and his adult handler..." captured a wealth of derisive imagery in just a few words. And "The Bush White House, its political allies, and its media courtesans..." describes the MSM to a tee, as painted whores pretending to the world to be women of quality while being screwed by the monarch. <BR/><BR/>As a friend remarked to Oscar Wilde upon hearing one of his brilliant witticisms, "Oh Oscar, I wish I had said that." To which Oscar replied, "Never mind, you will dear boy, you will." I shall remember these gems of yours and use them occasionally, with your permission.<BR/><BR/>War used to be called the sport of Kings. It certainly was not sport for those who had to do the bleeding and dying. Now that we have no Kings, I suppose today it is the sport of Presidents. Rather like golf. Or, if one is a Prime Minister, like croquet. Certainly all very genteel and pleasant. Especially when one's Daddy has gotten one a posting in the Texas Air National Guard to which one occasionally shows up between drunken binges, or if one has received five draft deferments as a first instalment payback for being a team member, the final payment being the job of Vice President and Chief Looter Of The National Purse.<BR/><BR/>Vladimir Putin and Hu Jintao are real men. Mr. Putin is a Judo master, and both he and Hu Jintao have no doubt read Sun Tzu: "Never let your enemy choose the field of battle. The wise general will choose where and when he meets his enemy. Make your enemy think you are weak where you are strong, and make him think you are strong where you are weak."<BR/><BR/>Why should these nations try to fight us militarily? It is fully within their power to utterly destroy the USA economically without firing a single shot. When the US and its allies collapse economically, our ability to wage war and sustain it will be zero. We make nothing any more in this country. If Russia should refuse oil and gas to Europe, and China should refuse motherboards and memory cards to the USA, how would we and our allies fight a war? If they dumped our currency, how would we afford our food, our energy, and all the foreign goods on which we have come to depend?<BR/><BR/>And yet, these mature men of great wisdom refrain from such irrevocable antagonisms, even in the face of petulant and childish tantrums, infantile rages, and dire threats from America, and the silent acquiescence of our allies. The patience and restraint of Mr. Putin especially is truly remarkable, and should not be foolishly mistaken for fear or weakness. Remember Sun Tzu.<BR/><BR/>As one of your commenters said: "Contemporary Amoricons also suffer from delusions of their own infallibility so deeply entrenched as to be irremediable." If Sun Tzu was facing such an enemy, he would dance a Chinese jig for joy. Look where this attitude has gotten us to in Iraq. And yes, it WAS the fault of all those neocons and their tens of millions of acolytes who believed Amoronica was unbeatable. (Again....We never learn....Definition of insanity. Or cretinism.)<BR/><BR/>It comes from being spoiled brats, who always got everything we wanted and never suffered the slightest need or disappointment. Oh, we were SO hurt by 3,000 dead on 9/11/01. My Lebanese friend tells me 18,000 people died in one month in Beirut in 1982, when the Israelis would demolish whole blocks of apartments, deliberately not letting a single person escape, because they had had a rumor Yassir Arafat was inside. They did it over and over again. 18,000 civilians in 30 days. And this in a nation of six million, not 300 million like us. Life went on, they coped, they laughed, and they loved, in the midst of a bloody war. My friend had to carry water up 6 floors from the street, and shopping for food was risking death. We invincible Amoricons are pussies and babies when it comes to war. Nobody takes us seriously any more. The only reason they don't laugh at us is because they are afraid we will do something foolish.<BR/><BR/>Chris Taylor<BR/>Arlington, VALemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-81332764751473294362008-01-25T21:10:00.000-07:002008-01-25T21:10:00.000-07:00Thanks Mr. Grigg, for your comment on SSS.

I'm already on record stating that my children will NOT be drafted, and I know what keeping that promise might entail.<BR/><BR/>I didn't register for SSS until well after my 18th birthday, and then I did so at the behest of a religious leader (which just goes to show, you know?). As long as it's possible to avoid registering, I will encourage my children not to register and do whatever I can to keep them out of Leviathan's clutches. <BR/><BR/><BR/>It's likely that by the time my oldest son is of driving age, Idaho will have followed the lead of several other states by making draft registration part of the driver's license application. It wouldn't surprise me to see this go national when the time comes to revise REAL ID. <BR/><BR/>Another unsettling development: Thanks to proto-NAU-related agreements, it's now all but impossible to find sanctuary from conscription in Canada. And the new "border security" measures are making it increasingly difficult to <I>leave</I> the country, which cannot be incidental to this discussion. <BR/><BR/>So, as I said, there's precious little I can offer by way of comfort on this subject.William N.

There is no fixing this. Economically, socially, spiritually, and most certainly politically amerika is rotten to the core. The question is, "Do YOU have a plan?" If not, you had better start considering one because if you don't one will be provided for you.<BR/><BR/>A dimes worth of history says we are on borrowed time.

Arrogant pride and deep-seated fear also play a part. Who, after all, is going to readily admit that they've been a patsy their entire adult life for a system that has sucked the economic life blood out of them and made them dependent on the machinery of state for every aspect of their essential well-being, directly or indirectly, and that every belief that has been inculcated into them since early childhood is a lie? The very idea that his entire existence is based on a fraud is simply too horrible for the average lemming to contemplate. It’s much easier to just go with the flow and remain one of the glassy-eyed, trusting, sieg-heiling state-worshippers who believes in national might (and the pseudo-Christianity that is the “great national religion”) ueber alles and who trusts the very people who enslave them to solve all of their problems than to exercise introspection and start thinking for oneself.liberranterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00555275410576294081noreply@blogger.com
