I just can not believe we are smashing and
obliterating an entire country and not expect to pay some detrimental consequence.
That's just the problem. We are doing that, and we don't expect to pay some consequence, and we probably won't pay any public consequence. The cold war at least had the virtue of keeping a rein on both super powers. Now there is nothing to prevent the U.S. from using its power to destroy anybody it wants to.
The consequences will come, IMO, in terrorist acts. Along with Iraq, Iran, Libya, Bin Laden, and others, we have now made a whole new set of enemies which can't attack the U.S. overtly but will have no hesitancy in attacking our airliners, embassies, miliary outposts, and possibly even key sites here in the country.
When you see what a few kooks with some fertilizer and diesel oil could do in Oklahoma city, this military adventurism by our draft dodging President has put all of who don't have a huge security force, as he dies, a bit more at risk.
Makes you wonder what it is about the U.S. that makes us keep piling up enemies. |
