Force for Evil

Apparently more Europeans think we are a force for evil than a force for good. Right. We waged war on a country already devastated by one of history's worst dictators with the purpose of ending his reign, putting a halt to Palestinian blood money, and smashing a highly capable and motivated potential storefront for WoMDs of every type. Did we do it for territory? No. For oil? Only indirectly, as the region's oil wealth is what renders all other events there of such significance. Meanwhile the puir wee lads we hold at Guantanamo are in the main violent religious fanatics who would happily kill every hippie in California given half a chance, and who would have nothing to do with the rebuilding we do in Iraq and Afghanistan, nor the attempts we make to help the Middle East transform into a place whose people are actually served by government. What do the fucking French do besides sell them weapons? How much have they helped out in Myanmar relative to us? If they truly think we are a force for evil, they need to bend down and kiss our collective ass.

So all the Frenchmen have splendid government health care by selling weapons to a bunch of violent nomads that squabble with each other and hate a country that was theirs until 50 some years ago when the benevolent brother hood of the league of nations concocted and the United nations ratified another wandering warring faction that held on to some 3000 year old meta narrative and born out of some judeao-christian guilt trip another verging warlord state emerges in the middle east and this country feels obligated to defend it to the bitter end, while our children become more under-educated due to lack of funds spent where? Health care, what the fuck is that? Private business corporate Heath care has this country by the balls. I think we are in the wrong business as big brother to the universe. I don't think another senile old war monger has any place in my political vision. Obama may be young and untested in the big political ring but he didn't get this far on his good looks. Certainly he knows who has the answers he will need for the ever changing times. Pail? who's got the pail. Maybe I need one of those pails.

Healthcare = good.

Israel = whatever.

"senile old war monger" = pragmatist.

Obama = lots of idealistic voters.

My point was merely that people who think we're evil suck.
