So if the plan of western leaders is to just go into every country in the middle east. Take out all the people that lead these nation states and take out all the people that support nation states or have their own organizations that oppose the west. Then build permanent military bases in these countries, while influencing the creation of new "democratic" governments. I'll make a bet they sell portions of land to each other secretly, and already have mcdonald's restaurants with hotels and the whole monopoly board plotted out already. Not to mention oil and gas companies lining up for stake's in this twisted game of divide and conquer. But if that's the plan. Why don't they just tell us the truth? Why do they play pretend with the rest of world that they are doing it all for ideological reasons? Does an ideology justify the cost financially, not to mention the casualties of this "war on terror" or so called "help" we are providing to the Libyan revolution. Is it truly support or a PR campaign to sell you the idea that war is ok, or that the military industrial complex profiting billions from arms sales to every nook and cranny of the middle east is justified? Can they really tell a child who's entire family was shot and blown up in front of him, that this was all for democracy, and it was a good thing. Could you? The casualties of war are also the casualties of economics. The reason that corporations have the power to go to war is because they have the power to influence governments. The reason war is seemingly perpetual is because the ones who profit from war, control the ones and sometimes are the ones who have the power to go to war.
I guess asking why is kind of a stupid question. If the ones who have control of governments and corporations told the rest of the world the truth they wouldn't be in positions of power. If we were told on a regular basis that the citizen's of the world were expendable, collateral damage. If we were told that if the price was right, we could become casualties of war. We would take these people in power and hang them.
The solution? To continually structure our society in a way that we keep people from attaining any power at all, or at least to much power (which is?).
Never support war. Never sell your humanity for profit
If someone said they would pay you 1 billion dollars to kill 100, 000 people would take the money? What number of men, women, and children slaughtered is acceptable to force the globe to be democratic? If (we) the west "help" bring democracy to the the east what's next? What's the next investment?
