What in God's name does it take? This state of affairs is the very prototype and poster child of impeachable offenses--high crimes and misdemeanors. If these leaders aren't culpable, who in Blazes would ever be culpable?
The worst part of this all is that we have only ourselves to blame, and I don't mean this as a mantra, a theory. When Pat Tillman is murdered because he was to file for Conscientious Objector status, when parents do not object to their children participating in a war that anyone with the courage and capacity for original thought could see is totally unjustified, a sham, based upon a demonstrable lie--then sadly, tragically, they are to blame even more directly than the others whom I criticized above.
I'm sorry, but the truth hurts. During the Viet Nam War I was drafted to be a doctor in the military, presumably relatively out of harm's way; yet I knew that this atrocity of a war was to be a tragedy and a blight on our record as a super power and so I refused to serve, bearing the judicial wrath of the Fed. That was preferable to trying to explain to my children why I was part of that atrocity. And to those who are ready to pounce, forget it: I fought my way INto the military years later and served with distinction, receiving a Humanitarian Medal and a Naval Letter of Commendation from a Line Captain for my part in a rescue operation off the territorial waters of Viet Nam--with which country we have diplomatic relations, for no reason that I can see, but what do I know?
Wars typically have goals and circumstances that propel them to the forefront. What justification is there to this war? More to the point, what was the goal, the endpoint?
You say, "you can't pick your conflicts." To those who say this, I say, you're damn right you do; and you take the consequences. It's called "a code of morality." It is held by each individual, and he cannot offer up and sacrifice his responsibility for making this choice by some innane pretense to patriotism. That's what was said in Nazi Germany.
The purpose of the actions of these Unholy Minions of Satan was to destroy America. This is not poetry. We keep rationalizing away our leaders' actions as "ill chosen...poorly thought-out...reckless," etc. etc. It is nonesuch. It is exactly what it appears to be. Our leaders are most definitely not American citizens. They are Corporate Globalists, and all of their actions spring from that identification, and nothing they have done contradicts it.
The goal? To enslave the world population. In the warped minds of these elitists, this is the last challenge left. As any other addicts, these life forms, addicted to power, have nothing left, nothing to accomplish. Our greatest weakness, even greater than our unwillingness to think and to act, is our naïveté in thinking that no human could stoop to this level. And not unlike other addicts I have treated, they will do anything to get their fix.
It's just that simple.
