Tale of two criminals: Criminal One: A kid of 20. From California a place that seems somehow out of place in the United States and would actually make a very impressive country. At least it's radically different from some third world U.S. states. The kid goes to Afghanistan, gets religion, despises the fascists running his country and mingles with the enemy. never does he raise a weapon against Americans and there is no evidence that he intends to do that. He is lucky to escape with his life. Criminal two: In 1991 he is defence secretary and Iraq is bombed out. After he's out; he goes to Halliburton and sells Iraq (presumably America's premier enemy if the mob is to taken seriously) stuff for dozens of millions of dollars. In 2001 he's back in Washington as vice president. Now he wants to bomb the stuff he just sold the Iraqis. Hello? Is trading with the enemy a crime? Is there a law or is there a law? What constitutes a "right" scam and what a "wrong" scam? This system is evidently out of control and totally invalid. Small wonder America's standing in the world has plummeted in recent years. There just isn't any substance to speak of. The emperor doesn't have any clothes on and it's obvious to the whole world.
