...speaking of the end of WW II, I no longer believe that it was a "good war", or one "forced on us".....it's roots lay deep in capitalism....in the same urge to be modern and progress at all costs that swept the major players....even Japan was ultimately forced to attack the US because of our own policies....there we were with bases on islands ringing Japan, cutting off access to the same resources we were stealing and killing for, but denying them equal access...well, Japan had learned the bitter lesson of the Chinese: that if you don;t adopt the mechanical and military means of the West you will be destroyed by them...Japan at least wanted to fight fire with fire....we imposed an embargo on them, we wouldn't let them get the oil and other resources they needed to run their machinery...this forced them to attack China, as we would have done had we needed to....finally their only hope was to chase the Americans out of THEIR sphere of influence... ...no different with Germany which also wanted oil to run machines....these two wars were fought in pursuit of private wealth, that's it and that's all. They weren't fought for freedom or a better way of life...if a nation merely wanted a better way of life for its people it wouldn't want or need to send its young to die...but leaders in these nations aren't thinking of their people, they're thinking of their personal fortunes: how to increase them and then how to protect them...they use their people to further these goals. WW II was not a noble enterprise...it was dressed up that way to mask the real reasons and means by which we were maneuvered into war...not just us but all the people in all the countries. War is business... We still say that we were "mistaken" in Vietnam...that the South was not a true democracy, that it was a lost cause when we entered it etc. It's the same rationale given for the "mistakes" of Iraq etc. If we're so mistaken so often, how come we keep doing it over and over? The truth is that it was NOT a mistake...it was deliberate and it was for money, for business, for JOBS JOBS JOBS because that's the only way we have left that's an assured profit-maker. Those billions and trillions pent on those wars could not have been made in any other way....in no other way would the doors to our Treasury been thrown open, not to mention the national check-book. And we're graduated from only making money with phoney wars and threats to rigging Wall Street and robbing widows and orphans and retirees...because the insatiable need for ever bigger and bigger profits can be met in no other eventually than outright theft and fraud, and of course Patriotism. Those wars worked marvelously well for those who profited by them, worked better than anything else they were capable of.....it was no mistake. --------------------- |
