please, no insults with labels or references as "liberal"

I am Libertarian, big difference
I oppose hypocrisy, lies, deceit, and control of information
as well as corruption in our monetary and financial corners
criminal activity on both fronts is vast nowadays

this war makes me sick to my stomach
we are posturing now against Syria
just like my Paki Ahmad warned about two weeks ago

who allows us to control what a Weapon of Mass Destruction is?
our conventional weapons have evolved into far more dangerous devices than chemical gas, which disperses
we are using this WMD cleverly as a cover for military adventurism
which on its face has clear criminal motives from insincerity
as though that isnt enough, we are even more sinister, claiming not to find WMD as cause for entering neighboring nations

this reminds me of Salem Witch Trials in the 18th Century
people were burned at the stake for accusations of witchcraft
if they didnt confess, their neighbors were attacked, coerced and tortured into confession their witchcraft
so if the witch was not found, then the hunt moved elsewhere, and the tyranny widened
in later years, the real motives were revealed
A FARMER WANTED ACCESS TO PROPERTY LEADING TO THE OCEANFRONT
HOW LITTLE HAS CHANGED, AS WE PURSUE A PIPELINE TO THE PERSIAN GULF

we are creating hostile relations with our staunchest allies in Europe in the process
we will need European support at some point in the future
but I doubt we will receive it in our next time of need
that need will have financial weakness as its basis
it will become glaring as a need as sure as night follows day

now the US Military has clear superiority
but the cruelty and inhumanity lies in our willingness to use it
especially from 35,000 feet and from 500 miles away
"in order to minimize deaths of our soldiers"

my heart goes out to 1000's of American soldiers
I applaud their efforts to protect innocent civilians, their homes, their mosques, and supplies intended for them
it is not their fault that their commander & chief is using false premises, doctored documents, billion dollar bribery, trade sanction threats, control of media, and other bully tactics to justify and wage this war

the generals are having their own hot disputes with Rumsfeld, who has demonstrated a keen ability to lie in order to deflect criticism, then lie again in order to take credit
the Joint Chiefs of Staff are as quiet as the 1943 German Generals were back then in voicing dissenting opinions
instead of the Russian Front, they face Forced Retirement, or posts in Guam

I personally know one marine soldier near Basra, working on communications links, and hope she does not give her life for this unjust cause

when are we gonna see tens of 1000's of Iraqi corpses lying on the desert sand, killed by pushbutton soldiers flying at 150 mph protected by titanium undercarriage ???
this isnt war, IT IS A VIDEO GAME

Arab and Islamic retaliation and counter attacks will not appear on the battlefield
they will appear in the financial markets
prepare for assaults on the USDollar, and its flipside
the US Treasury Bond
when it happens, and price inflation reappears, know well
that is their response to our callous regard for their human lives

for what?
for oil
for military airbases
for defense from Arab PetroDollar selling

Saddam's clear record of brutality provides "plausible deniability" for seizure of oil fields and military bases
this is being carried out like a CIA textbook operation

/ jim

p.s. I had to straighten out my Arab friend in Dubai
he wondered if I am an economist
so two insults in the same day by insinuation
