Thread Name: BS: War Profiteers
Subject: RE: BS: War Profiteers
War profiteers have been around since the birth of this nation. They're only (if you can say only) taking advantage of the situation, still it's immoral (note that in most Muslum countrys to profit from tradgey is against God & country & their bible with the exception of extremists). Far worst are those that'll start a war for power, profit & greed. They're the ones that feed the bottom eaters at the end of the money chain. Since the Viet Nam police action (police action, liberation my ass) the US has been covertly overthrowing governments & supporting dictators use of genocide & massacre & selling them WMD. As time goes on this policy has become more blantent & open till now we just invade, overthrow, occupy & steal the resources & strategically set ourselves up for the next near by encounter. Shame on US for letting it get this far with so much support & so little resistence from the common folk. I believe in (OLD) Europe the people there have seen first hand & lived the nightmare of war & are far less willing to go there. The words "Freedom Fighters" (how easy we say & toss Freedom around) has a far different connotation than just a wave of a flag.
So war's good for business? Maybe for some of the choosen few, for the rest of us, we who have to pay & tote the burden & feel the results & carry the guns & look into the eyes of the dying & then die. We find no glorious gain in war oonly the darker side of hell. Barry
