Oh, a little thing we like to call the "Iraq war".

No-bid contracts for Halliburton.

Tasteful funerals for American kids.

That sort of thing.

He didn't draft anyone into the army. Anybody who goes to the army knows they'll be fighting for their country. It is sad, but someone has to. because some people aren't nice or empathetic so war happens.

Doc Howl

Which means he is perfectly right to waste the people that do volunteer. Or to use them as corporate troops, essentially.

Right?

They aren't fighting for their country. They are fighting for Halliburton, KB&R, and Blackwater's right to no bid contracts.

I think the PNAC actually wants peace. I do not think it is a workable solution though. I think it is about the same as Stalininsm.

If by "peace" you mean "total economic hegemony", then sure.

winston53660

I think they actually believe their BS. Economic hegemony might be a part of their ultimate goal of peace but their goal is peace. Is it workable and attainble with hegemony? Obviously NOT!

Doc Howl

I think they're a little more cynical than that.

winston53660

I'm not sure cynical is the right word. "Privileged for a reason" might be a better description of how these people think.

Doc Howl

Yeah, Marie Antoinette felt the same way.
