Another war? No way for me. It took me 50 years of supporting every military action the complex could engineer to finally learn. I supported the “vital mideast oil” justification for decades. I’ll gladly suffer the consequences of not a drop of that oil being produced to avoid a war and to achieve total world domination of the oil market by the US. The Israeli military can take care of itself. As far as anyone else in the region is concerned, I couldn’t care less.
Sorry it took so long.
My day of reckoning actually came when I was still in high school -- and was being recruited to apply for an Air Force Academy nomination.
The aftermath of the U.S. embassy bombing in Beirut put an end to all that for me. The bombing itself was bad enough, but the real disgrace was when it was revealed that the suicide bomber drove his truck past a guard post where the U.S. Marines on guard duty were not permitted to have ammunition in their weapons.
That's the point when I realized that I'd be well served if I just assumed everyone in Washington is corrupt, mentally retarded, or both.
I agree. No war. None.
Not for the mideast.
Not our problem
get rid of our Saudi masters.
Plus the strategic oil situation has changed dramatically, with the US now the world’s #1 producer and a net exporter.
AMEN BROTHER!The demographics prove that Iran is dying - the replacement birth rate is something like 1.1 and the necessary birth rate for a country to survive is 2.1 - So if we do nothing Iran will disappear as a nation before 2200. However, long before that Iran will have major problems supporting an increasingly elderly population. In an advanced country like America this is a problem, but for a third world country like Iran it’s a disaster. Iran has been so aggressive the last few years because the Iranian leadership understands the demographics problem, so they must move now secure the empire. Like the man said, “Never attack your enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself.”
