American Wars

It only makes sense when you think about it. I mean the Americans always being at war with someone. Occupations, Police actions, interventions etc. Whatever name you want to give it. It’s really all the same. But the real question is why. Why would anyone want war? Well the answer is really quite simple.

First off, you have to understand who’s making the decisions. The government. They have the last word. We often delude ourselves into thinking that it’s a democracy, but it’s not. Although they have democratic elections, they’re not a democracy, they’re a republic. Once the election is over, the people really don’t have a say until the next election. Until then, the government is free to do as they please.

Second off, you have to remember that money makes the world go round. Running a political party takes money, lots of it. Political campaigns gobble up huge amounts of money. So where do they get their money? From donations, of course. Big donations from big business. Working class people don’t have the money to make a significant donation. It’s the big corporations. They’ve got the bucks.

So where does the American Republican party get most of their donations? From the armaments industry and the oil industry. That’s where. Invading oil producing countries generates billions of dollars for the armaments industry, and causes the price of oil to sky rocket, which generates billions more for the oil industry. For the people making the decisions, war is a high profit business. It only makes sense.

If McCain wins the next American election, I think the Iranians had better brace themselves. Republicans are in the business of war. They can’t afford peace. Helluva way to run a county if you ask me.
