7. The macabre essence of killing unknown, untried, "unintended" (women and children supposedly)
Sat Nov 2, 2013, 01:29 PM

including entire villages disregarded as merely inconvenient ... states our "just cause" that we need more enemies.

Like the War on Drugs...got to keep the private prisons full. "War on Terror for Those We Deem Non Essential or Have the Audacity to be Opposed to American Empire Snatching Up Their Minerals and Sovereign Wealth", well keeps the troops paid, MIC churning right along, is a cozy little cycle. Got to fund our foreign prisons, get those shiny new military bases surrounded by concrete, more fighter jets that either don't work or we don't need. Ad nauseum.

There is no "good reason" to stop, given the entire "Beltway" has their hands in the deadly, but financially lucrative shitstorm.

Yet, it's the very reason all but the World's Policemen can afford to give their own citizens national health care. Or, jobs when the unfortunate soldiers come home. We can't afford it...too busy inventing the next bomb, missile, drone.

For shame.
