I think Vietnam was on the whole a noble war with a noble goal, to stop Sino-Soviet expansion in the near East. Iraq was a similar war: spank down the sponsors of terrorism and make all Islamic extremists cower in caves while Hellfire missiles blow up their camels. The problem is that our political system is corrupt because democracy is always corrupt. Good blog. Glad I found it.

I think that the Republicans and W. wanted war mostly to take their supporters minds off the fact that he had no real domestic agenda, that he was basically glad to go along with their political opponents to the detriment of those supporters. Business enters into it only to the degree that the Republican/Conservative elite don't care about anything else. There's no money in bucking the media and the Social Justice Warriors, so they're not going to bother with that, but they have to keep their not-so-bright voters from realizing it. What better way than a foreign enemy? It's classic. It's also a last-ditch desperate effort that is bound to fail in the not-so-long run.<br /><br />Have you noticed that the Republicans have nothing to say about the Trayvon/Ferguson/Baltimore circus that's been dominating headlines for the last three years or so? Full scale riots, arson, looting, cops being shot, hate crimes being committed and the only Republican I've heard make any comment was Rand Paul and what he had to say was mostly PC boilerplate. What's important here is not what they believe but the fact that they don't dare comment. You cam bet that if they were forced to comment what would come out from most would be PC or some blather about "enterprise zones", nothing controversial. They constantly triangulate between their interests, subserviently placating the liberal establishment, and conning their followers. It's mainly the result of a quasi-totalitarian media. With no real domestic agenda to sell they sell patriotism against Johnny Foreigner instead. Last refuge and all that. And as the ultimate ironic proof of this cynical reality they invite millions of the Muslims they're fighting overseas to colonize America. Give their followers patriotic wars and prove to the establishment they're not racist.
