Isn't it odd that twenty odd years after the Soviet Union died,the
panic that set in must have been in Washington,D.C. and not in Moscow.
The idea of a peace dividend must have alarmed our "defense" establishment.They had to create a new bogeyman and let it rule our minds so that they can milk the taxpayers forever with ever more esoteric weapons.The results are in. We now have a state of permanent terror.The Muslims/Arabs are the latest version of the Communist bogeyman. But anyone will do, including the Seveneth Day Adventists, so long as our Defense Budget keeps growing.

1. Blasphemor!
What, do you not believe in the war which will last our lifetime? How to you fail to see the evil-doers that surround us? What part of you doesn't understand that they hate us for our very freedoms? Don't you realize that it was only the re-election of our beloved leader that has kept the terror strikes from happening again?

2. Imagine if all these people and resources
that these Megacorps control, worked on projects to make like better for people, instead of worse?

It's such a shame and a waste of talent. Instead of building fancier bombs, if we built water systems for people, we wouldn't have to worry about terrorism as much.

3. That would mean loss of control. We can't have that, can we?

4. What would there be to control?
especially since they can't 'control' anything now? Look at Iraq, I wouldn't call that control.

5. And before the Muslims there was Clinton
for the right to re-focus their hate on. Check the timeline. Clinton was actually, at best, a moderate. But hate is so strong and addictive the right had nowhere to transfer that hate to until Clinton won in '92.

6. You got it. It's all a giant con game to sell arms and steal resources
and overthrow non-compliant countries. So was the communist scam.
