(160,542 posts)each president is "defending" them more than even the last one, to raise the number of victims, to create a more terrifying image to would-be "enemies" in other countries, and to increase the threat from this country globally.
They don't seem to be seeking peace any longer, although it's long PAST time to start creating a peaceful world, peaceful environment, to show diplomacy is the superior way, and that we have evolved beyond cavemen's instincts, with advanced technology.
Was so impressed with Jimmy Carter's pursuit of peace, such as it was, became sickened and disheartened by Bill Clinton, and stunned, disappointed with our last President.
People have mentioned the great possibility that at some point Presidents might start fearing for the security of their loved ones if they don't play the power game, as in actually being held prisoner by deadly blackmail in the "highest" position in the country.
Whatever it is, things look bleak right now. We know we will never find a Republican willing to leave harming people in other countries, but we need people of character to start coming forward from the Democrats if we are to have any future at all. We don't want to live like scum. That's for the right-wing.
You're so right. We're losing the right to imagine voting will ever count for anything ever again. So sad, considering our country pompously claims to be protecting and advancing "democracy" all over the world, and that's why we have to kill off so many people. How twisted can we get?
