Of War and Patriotism

...People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love...

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
Edward Abbey
Why, the Government is merely...a temporary servant...Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.
Mark Twain
War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
Thomas Jefferson
The defense policy of the United States is based on a simple premise: The United States does not start fights. We will never be an aggressor.
Ronald Reagan
Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service...
John Adams

O, it is excellent To have a giant’s strength! But it is tyrannous To use it like a giant.
William Shakespeare
Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government.
Thomas Jefferson
The question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth? And the answer is not very damned many.
Dick Cheney
A highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang as when single; and a nation that makes an unjust war is only a great gang.
Benjamin Franklin
We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.
George W. Bush

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future.
Marcus Aurelius

Rambling on

And Then
Mr. big Ben
My empire State
You know it’s a thin Line
Between love and Hate
As we grow Amidst,
Within us grows Extinct
So we Hide
Behind watchful Eyes
Of a Fox
In a Forrest
On a Park
Skipping to Land
On Land
From Tree
To a shining Tree
To Root
To branch Again
It is them I never Understand

For a warm Breeze
You Wait.
But, I say onto You,
Awaken,
Make a Stand,
Although Alone,
For the Day
To ascend Home
To Holy Land
Where mountain kissed Sea
And Prophets preached to Thee
My resting Place
Is "our" Place
For four Years
Yearning to Understand
Eyes locked Open
Forever Regarding
Forever "Cant"

Global Politics in 30 seconds
Hilarious cartoon from MTV2, I wish it were this easy!!! Funny as hell! |

Stop the Deception

The Tokyo bombings of March 9-10, 1945, killed over 85,000 innocent civilians with Napalm. The military leadership referred to those missions as "Burn Jobs". Robert McNamara, the 8th Secretary of Defense, and one of the strategic war planners of the Tokyo bombings later said "If we had lost that war, we would have later been on trial as war criminals".
An interesting way to celebrate the death of Fascism...

"Shock and Awe" is a battle plan proposed and implimented as a non-nuclear tactic, that can achieve results similar to the devastation of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. "Shock" with force and generate "Awe" about the plunder one airplane can carry.
Reading these things alarms me. Life seems so cheap. People today are actually sitting down and arranging efficient demolishion, butchery, and consumption of another people. I draw the line here, "business" is not done like this.
When did innocent civilians become fair game?
When did lines become so blurred?
Love and hate.
Food and starvation.
Thirst and satisfaction.
Reconstruction and re-devastation.
Divine and secular.
Friend and foe.
Life and death.
Peace and war.
Why can't we...
