I wrote on SI months before the war about how war is a "twofer" .. A person gets to blow something up, without any chance of recycling of the material.,, And then for no. 2, a bonus, you get to build it back up.. Of course,
That was proved in spades (the darkest of the card suite, btw) by the Cheney, bush, etal, regime, when they blew up Iraq, (making money from their investments on the way by doing so) and now planning on making more money by rebuilding it, witness Haliburton contracts for example.. A classic type-section (a geological word) of a twofer..
Well, with that said.. Not much has been written about the environmental damage inflicted, not only on the people, which has been discussed, but the flora and fauna.. What about the big and small animal life, all the plant life, etc. that has to suffer because of the Cheney-bush, etal avarice..
A BIG question, but good question, they will have to answer EVENTUALLY.. And I doubt if they can answer it SATISFACTORLY.. GOOD enough to get off the Karmic hook, I mean.. |
