(2,872 posts)29. Unforunately, that can of worms has already been opened
By the same kinds of monsters that salivated over Vietnam, over Iran, over Iraq, over Afghanistan. By the Bush dynasty and all their corruptocrat cronies; they've sharpened their people's teeth on the leathers of war for war's sake; war for profit's sake. Hostile takeovers of the most dangerous kind, where corporations buy land in literal blood and bullet casings. Fact of the matter is, I think to fix it, we need a lot of guillotines to make a lot of examples, because as long as long as they live, they won't willingly relinquish the gravy train.
