America is engaged in nearly a dozen wars at this time.
All wars are wasteful to an extreme
Nobody truly ever wins one, since the mind-set that engages in them believes that might is right and in that hawkish process looses sight of compassion and scorns the dove of peace.
Engaging in our wars consumes over 80% of our GNP.
As a result our national infrastructure is rapidly deteriorating.
Our international reputation is in shreds.
We are deep in debt and have no reserves to fall back on.
When a catastrophe such as Katrina occurs, there is very little the government can do.
Right now we are domestically and internationally engaged in:
A war against terrorism - and losing it
A war against drugs - and losing it
A war against illegal immigration - and losing it
A war against poverty - and losing it
A war against crime - and losing it
A wear against divorce – and losing it
A wear against sodomy – and losing it
A war against abortion - and losing it
A war against inefficient national energy production – and losing it
A war against ineffcient health care - and losing it
A war against global pollution - and losing it.
Our strategy for winning is to use huge amounts of borrowed money, an infinite array of weapons and vast armies of soldiers, police and bureaucrats.
Our tactics, which includes going into massive debt, spying on private citizens, bribery and torture have become a matter of international scorn
Having set our course we will stick to it. So nothing is going to change and we will continue to loose these wars until such time as there is amass change of consciousness. This invariably only happens when people hit rock bottom.
What a shame.
What we need now is a new kind of leadership; one that looks past short term economic and political gains and sees far enough down the road to see victory on all fronts.
That new leadership can only come from a new kind of person who institutes a new national Constitution.
Perhaps the members of this forum would engage in a discussion on this sorry state of affairs and maybe help plan a new kind of national strategy.
