Absolutely. And the US is headed into an era of perpetual warfare by declaring EVERYTHING a war...war against terror, war against drugs, war against this and that... It's being done for corporate power and profits just as it was used by the British East India company to further their power and profits at the expense of England. Go read up on it...Bush may as well be the CEO of the British East India Company selling the Citizens of the US out to create a perpetual state of war for the purpose of securing corporate profits rather than the good of the nation.

Please to read the history of the root causes of the American Revolution and you will find that what our leadership is doing today is what cost the Crown the American Colonies. It will cost us allies and resources in the world and it will cost us our personal liberties and standard of living as we become foot soldiers and cannon fodder for the military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned us against as he left office.

  I really appreciate your input on these issues, BravoSierra. I've read quite a bit on that era, but am always hungry for more. If you have any recommendations or favorite books - would love to know....

  BravoSierra ~
  How true! When - and IF - they ever finish the game they are playing in the Middle East, they have already staked out their next areas of
  conflict. Take a look at our involvement with Colombia and our continual disruption in Bolivia and Ecuador.
  One day I stumbled across a reference to United Fruit Company and their dealings in Latin America. I was spellbound! I remember seeing the demonstrations about "Yanqui Go Home" - but never knew what that was all about. Well, all the way from United Fruit - to Iran-Contra, and on to the Bush policies now in that region.
  It becomes quite clear that you cannot assist the elites to steal from the many and give to the few, nor can you build a truly
  self-sustaining and PROFITABLE military machine if you don't have that one essential ingredient ..........continual conflict.
  "Liar,liar - World on fire" - doesn't just apply to Bush - he's just been extrordinarily successful in selling the concept (through FEAR)
  and changing our Constitutional structure to facilitate it.
