But the elephant in the room is the MILITARY. Is FEAR. Until we can talk the truth about the military-industrial complex the government we have now is a sham. The troops are not protecting ME. They aren't bringing me freedom, the aren't even bringing Iraqi's freedom. I turned on the Senate C-SPAN for two seconds this morning and some Republican was talking about the budget. The problem with the budget is the entitlements you see! Those stupid things we pay our taxes for like medicare and social security and to keep the children from manlnutrition. No, you stupid fucking cow-the entitlements are not what's costing this record debt-it's the WAR. It's the billions of lost dollars in Iraq. The billions of overpayments to Haliburton, Bechtel and all their ilk. It's this folly of remaking the middle east in our own image to profit from it. It's the folly of saying that we are "fighting them over there" so we don't have to fight them there. The Iraq war is a sham. And we are spending our precious resources on it much the way the Soviet Union did in Afghanistan. We won't win. We won't win. And we will have nothing to show for it but a broken country.

The only difference between this stupid war-and Vietnam(were we attacked by Vietnam? I must have missed that? Hell not even any Asians attacked us on that one-I suppose we have the excuse of the "right" Race on the Iraq war-now that is stupid-why doesn't anybody say I want you to avenge those that killed us on 9/11 not somebody else-this fucking war is like having your kid killed by some guy and then killing some guy that looks like him just to MAKE YOURSELF feel better-yeah that's pretty fucking dumb) ARRGH. The only difference between this war and Vietnam is no draft. Is that there are people that have been educated on the military industrial complex. And we know war's first goal is PROFIT. So when we have some leaders that speak the truth to the American people we will have some more receptive ears. Maybe in another five hundred years or so. I'm not holding my breath.
