Yeah too bad. Not us. Who cares? Shah was done over, because a Middle East not at war with itself might just have made Merkins pay realistic prices for oil. We made sure of the poor ecconomic performance of their countries' populaces by backing the most corrupt and self serving within them.


Go on, keep believing that. You'll at least sleep well. There is NO NEED to attack America today. Just make some vague noises. Point the finger at a local trouble maker (key people my arse) and wait for America to attack itself.


BULLSHIT! WOT is great for MIC: The amount of equipment that chews itself to pieces with sand or is simply abandoned on the side of the road over a minor fault is phenomenal. Boondoggles are dowm but spending is up, up, way up.


And business as usual will only continue to exacerbate the problem. (Oh, and of course keep the cheap oil flowing a few more years.)


So instead, we'll just keep bombing kids in the vague hope that there's a terrorist in the next room, no matter how often the intel proves not just to be wrong, but deliberately fabricated to get the US to shoot itself in the foot.

SO instead, the US will keep on with the WAR CRIMES.


So having screwed the pooch so fucking royally WRT Iraq and Iran, the only SANE response is to pop a blue pill and keep humping away?


Again and again, your argument is, that having fucked up so royally, the US has no choice but to continue with exactly those policies which created the mess.
