The causalities of war and war by the United States of America
    #14357611 - 04/26/11 08:49 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

This video contains graphic imagery (to an extent) and if you
are an emotional person like myself might bring a tear to youre
eye.




"they do not hate us because of our freedoms. They hate us
because everyday we are funding and committing wars against humanity.
The so called war on terror is a cover for our military aggression
to gain the resources of western Asia. It is sending the poor of this
country to kill the poor though middle eastern countries."

this in interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_casualties_of_war

I actually don't know who the US gov think they could fool with that story of "We're bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq", "No wait, we're searching for WMD (which if they had we had been the ones selling them, so we know they don't have)" bla bla bla, the only thing they hadn't got the balls to admit was going there for robbing oil, abusing and killing civilians and leave the country in a total mess.

Afghanistan was the first step to get to Iraq, and since they pinned 9/11 on afghans it was a way of not seeming weak.

It's really amazing (in a very negative way) how the states have been able to shred so many innocent blood over history and got away unpunished.

Afghan opium is for the US not a significant contributor to the GDP. For Afghanistan, it obviously is. And regarding pharmaceuticals, it's especially the research-intensive synthetic drugs that are economically interesting, not so much the relatively straightforward opiates (opioids are probably a different matter). Afghan opium is only relevant to the US in terms of the war on drugs, which is certainly a contributing factor in the decision to invade the country. But I doubt if the economic motives of the US for the invasion are strongly tied to opium.

Personally, I think in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the US and its allies were/are fighting the symptoms of an invisible and possibly a fictive enemy, with both countries chosen for the convenient excuses for an invasion that could be connected to them. This has never been about opium, weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden or even the Taliban; this is about the lack of understanding and the intolerance of Western culture towards any other culture that does not share our Western/Christian ideals and values. Conversely, the Arab world is collectively frightened by the military and economic power of the West, and at the same time envious of its prosperity. It is an enduring conflict that is fueled by fear on both sides, and both sides fail to recognize the differences and the complex relationships between religion, culture and socioeconomic development.

being at war also creates jobs, which reduces unemployement, its also profitable since alot of its employee's die.  more importantly wars are always about something and in this case its oil and control, which includes control of poppies, as well as a beachfront stepping stone to that entire region.  Which as u can see we are invading a new country every 5-10 years most likely because our government predicts its own collapse or at least its financial aspect and wishes to branch out to ensure its survival.  Were not dumping trillions of dollars into our military because we need it, its to ensure its always the most powerful.  The united states made history by freeing itself, its quite ironic that now we've caged ourselves and then parade around forcing our failed police state onto others.  If other countries want it bad enough they can do what we did, they have an advantage that we don't, there not surrounded by riot police with huge microwaves pointed at them and automated turrents....well besides our armies marching on them of course:smilingpuppy:
