Re: I could understand drastic measures being taken against a populace if a country was verging on anarchy or revolution, but in 2000 the Americans were all well-fed and happy like "Carnation cows". That's the calm before the storm.... Message 19741697

>>Not always so easy to see. That nebulous entity "big business" always benefits and likewise special interest groups and lobbies like JINSA. But they would benefit anyway.<< True. However; there is also a fine line between taking advantage of an "unforseen situation", and help creating the "situation" in the first place. The end goal is profit, how to get there is a different story. It seems that "the end justifies the means" has been the standard mode of operation for many in the MIC, WS, etc... With enough money and power the "means" can and do cross, moral, ethical, and legal lines.
