>Another Nail in the Neocon Coffin  - Lew Rockwell - 
BDB, how is it that your opinion which is based on 35 years in the military is so far apart from the opinions of my friends and family who are serving and who have served in the same military? I could take a stab at it and guess that you were possibly posted behind a desk and were not plunged into the consequences that have resulted from decades of US meddling. Those on the front lines and those that are part of cleaning up (trying to buy off those who were unjustly treated or had family members killed by US personnel without cause) have a deep understanding of the tragedy that is US foreign policy.

Of greater concern here is your whole hearted backing of Jim C. Do you forget that Jim C is for big government and at every opportunity pounces on anyone that will criticise Obama and the true cause behind the rest of the planet hating the US.

Take his first two items. Please tell us who on this globe poses a military threat to the US? There are a number of pissed off nations that the US has screwed with that want to retaliate but seriously, what nation poses a military threat to the US? All the US has done is maximize the number and creation of radicals that want to blow themselves up and take as many US citizens as possible with them.

His second point is an attempt at pure Obamafuscation. Let’s play role reversal here for a moment. If you were an Iraqi citizen that has had his home blown apart by US troops, your children have been murdered by cowards flying drones half a world away, and this was all done to eliminate the possibility that your country has weapons of mass destruction, that even after tearing the country apart were never found, how would you feel towards the US? If the same thing happened to your family in some other middle east country how would you feel towards the US? So let’s phrase what Jim C said in the right context - always blame the US for any attack against it that was a direct result of the screwing around the US has done to the attacking party.

This is basic stuff that even grade school kids understand yet it seems to elude the educated adults. No other country on the planet is as hated as the US simply because no other country has carried on the kinds of open and covert wars that the US has. It’s arrogant and ignorant to think that by placing US military bases in just about every country possible means that US citizens are safer, in fact it’s been well proven now that this has the opposite effect.

When will you and people like Jim C open your eyes to the fact that offensive actions, especially those that are carried out in secret, have a detrimental effect on all of the US citizens, and the cretins in Washington don’t give a rat ass about you?

Beginning of the headline :The recent opening of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity was a watershed moment in American history. There has never been anything quite like it. Ideologically diverse, the Ron Paul Institute reaches out to all Americans, and indeed to people all over the world, who find the spectrum of foreign-policy opinion in the United States to be unreasonably narrow. Until Ron Paul and his new institute, there was no resolutely anti-interventionist foreign-policy organization to be found... Read More
