Oh, so Ms. Lowenstein's fantasy that you posted was only about America's weapons factories being destroyed. Not the entire country. I see. So its not like you two hate America or anything - just our ability to defend ourselves or strike back at our enemies and in general be a world power. Sure.
So here's a simple question - is the US the major source of evil in the world today? Feel free to check with Ms. Lowenstein or Noam before answering.
But imagine the outrage, the indignation, the self-righteous ire of those whose military toy boxes come under threat. Imagine the look on the faces of the beneficiaries of our huge murder corporations when foreign tanks roll into Fort Worth, Texas or Mesa, Arizona or Hartford, Ct. to demolish the mega-metal workshops called Lockheed Martin or Boeing or United Technologies.
Sorry, you can't have any more Blackhawk helicopters, no more F16 fighter jets or AGM air-to-ground missiles. No more Hellfire anti-tank missiles or Apache Longbow helicopters. Goodbye to the F100-PW-229 aircraft engines, adios low altitude navigation targeting infrared night systems. Tanks, don't forget to stop in Lexington, Mass to put an end to Raytheon's AN-TPQ-37 Firefinder counterbattery radar systems and their Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles. Move on to Fairfax, Virginia to halt the production of ExxonMobil's JP-8 aviation jet fuel. Move south to Orlando, Florida to wipe out PGSUS LLC's Standoff Attack Missiles, and then backtrack to Oshkosh, Wisconsin where the Oshkosh Truck Corporation is producing and selling Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks. The list goes on and on. The profits and the price tags for these items more jaw dropping than the items themselves.
The news bulletin might give us pause if worded correctly. "Metal workshops throughout the United States fired on and bulldozed this afternoon after it was determined that they contained the materials used to produce Weapons of Mass Destruction."
I think the rest of the world might sleep more peacefully that night.
Remember that movie "Red Dawn" where America is invaded by Soviets and Cubans and some high school students escape into the Colorado Rockies to wage guerrilla war on the occupyers. It was a silly premise of course. I wonder if folks like you watch the movie just to root for the enemy. |
