[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 511297, member: 2189"] Andrew Bacevich sez "We Should Quit NATO" and I completely agree. As for fighting these foreign conflicts that truth be told we in some measure start either by intervention or inflame by being in places we shouldn't, I'll not send my son (currently 11 years old) to fight and die in what really is a "mercantilist war". Some would argue we were justified after 9/11 and I did believe that at one time but no longer. The hard lessons I learned from Vietnam I should have remembered. If we were justified, we should have nuked Tora Bora and been done with the whole mess but then without an enemy, where is the crisis in which gov't can inflame the public with fear and then expand itself to meet the so-called threat while at the same time re-distributing wealth from the productive free market and into the military/industrial complex. And you thought Obama had brought something new to Washington. PLEASE! No matter how hard one trys to spin it, when you compare it to the hard facts of clasical liberal economics ie laissez faire, it's still socialist wealth re-distribution by force via the model of compulsary taxation! How is that any different from the same forced taxation when the money is shifted to the lazy bum or welfare queen? There is no difference! War is the Health of the State! War on global terrorism will only equal more terrorism! War on drugs will only equal more drugs! War on inflation will only mean more inflation! War on Poverty will only equal more poverty! War no illiteracy will only equal a drop in education standards! See a trend folks! [/QUOTE]
