To send a young person off to kill and call it defending the nation, the valley, the farm...do we know the extent of brainwashing that has to go on to get the strongest of ours to do this?

Now we have a war that is going to go down as the most transparently corporate and closely focused killing event of all times, no matter what the final count of lives, limbs, and minds.

The only saving grace here is that these killing directors have crossed the line - the ones who are ordering, commanding it, planning it, organizing it ARE ALL IN SUITS. Combine money to be made from war with control of people and loss of rights, plus the protection and expansion of Israel.

If the littlest of people cannot live in peace to make a living and raise up their bodies and minds, then we must blame the people who put their thumb on us.

In years past when the world seemed to be expanding into something that seemed progressivley peaceful - the number one industry in the world was tourism. Do you know how many people and countries can prosper in that industry? Do you know how many little people can start to make it when tourism, not killing dominates?

Take a look at what our leaders have given us.

As someone posted - Osama Bin Laden named his demands - two of them were our exit from Saudi Arabia and freedom and a home for the Palstinians. Yes, yes...surprise...our leaders gave him one of those.

Peace is possible. None of our leaders seem to major in it, however.
