I’ve got to agree with this. I really think if Americans truly understood their kids were dying so others could profit, they would finally get it. Between the war profiteers and the oilmen, we are very screwed up indeed.
This goes to something else I’m forever saying. I’m frankly amazed when people call the war in Iraq a failure. It’s a failure only if you believe the US government’s propaganda about their objectives. If you believe, as I do, that the stated objectives – which changed constantly! – were only excuses to sell a war that was planned long ago, the goal of which is corporate profit and personal gain, then the occupation has been a spectacular success. And it will continue to be far into the future. There are already nine permanent US bases in Iraq. They’re not leaving any time soon.
