"Wars are seldom about ideas, they are almost always about recources.

'Always' almost always fails as a argument. Wars are also about social influence, power, control, and real estate. You could probably boil that down to influence and property if you really tried but those two things are inseparable in practical matters. In addition, ideas are woven through the fabric of social life and are impossible to factor out of the rally to war.

Up coming wars are not going to be about national armies lining up with muskets toe to toe or even prescriptive bombing with guided weaponry anyway. We have 100million extra twenty something men on the planet right now. Near our own border we have populations of illegals who have been told they have entitlement and for whom law enforcement has been told to keep hands off, by the powerful traffickers who've infiltrated the government and by our own traditional government...maybe you think that is working out well. OK but in the future look for growing cells of young men who are not loyal to any particular national interest. 100million extra who do not identify with the traditional idea of family and community, let alone nationality, think about it. Then you also have the usual militaristic enemies tapping at the door, wanting to know when you will come out and fight.

Report: US finds mineral riches in Afghanistan

I am not sure I believe this report........I find it very coincidental that just as its looking like its time to get out, suddenly we have a reason to stay and fight.

While you're here John, let's review how your ObamaManChild is doing...

usatoday.com

The 83 closures so far this year is more than double the pace set in all of 2009, which was itself a brisk year for shutdowns. By this time last year, regulators had closed 40 banks. The pace has accelerated as banks' losses mount on loans made for commercial property and development.


Darn that Bush!

Right John?
lol

The hope and change you voted for John?

The largest number of bank failures in nearly 20 years has eliminated jobs, accelerated a drought in lending and left the industry's survivors with more power to squeeze customers.
