Thoughts about bush and perpetual war polotics?

Question

We are in a war in Iraq, before that, we were in a war in afganastan, currently its looking like we're going to go to war with Iran.

Why are we in those wars? is it because Bush had credible information that Iraq is dangerous?? or is it based on this philosophy?

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Göring during the Nuremberg Trials.

The idea that perpetual war and fear prevent free thought and grant political administrations wider control is by no means new.
it was explored therouly in the book 1984.

It was exploited by the Nazies, In 1937 Hitler orderd the reichstag set ablaze, he then blamed the jewish people, this led to him being named dictator.

Closer to home, Bush is using the same principals to pass the patriot.

act and to destry several civil liberties, your thoughts on theses issues please

loofa, no i have nothing against the polish

Answer 1

There are obvious issues where as the government is controlling people through fear tactic. This alone has brought the USA to the door step of Iraq to stop WMD which never came to be. Of course Bush apprehended Saddam who tried to kill his father once but had nothing to do with 9/11. What did come to be was massive amounts of money being made by several corporations one of which the VP Chaney was formerly the CEO that being the notorious Haliburton. No bids were issued to allow other companies a chance to get contracts. Nothing Bush had ever said about Iraq ever came to be credible. Meanwhile little old ladies were having there purse searched and their nail files and little scissors confiscated in the name of homeland security while our borders are like open house to any terrorist that want to cross over. Many of the people who signed in the patriot act never even read it. It's ridiculous! Many cruel dictators are killing there own people and we have done nothing. Genocide is alive and well and nothing is being done.
My opinion concerning the recent rise and fall of gasoline prices is that the whole thing was a fiasco in an attempt by the wealthy people who run the country to establish a parameter in order to evaluate future profits. It was reported that for every penny that gas prices rose a billion dollars ceased to flow into the economy. They squeezed us to see how high a price we were willing to pay for gas and how much the economy would suffer as a result of the price. After it was all over they realized that it was not worth raising gas prices because there was more money to be made from people spending money elsewhere. And so gas prices have dropped and 65 billion dollars is once again flowing into the national economy. The bottom line is that the people are just Guinea Pigs and treated as such. It's sickening but I don't think there is much we can do about it.

It's not about a "war on terror" or "fighting for freedom". Here's what's REALLY going on with Iraq!...

Our troops are abroad in order to leave Americans defenseless against riots and martial law instituted by foreign troops already on U.S. soil. Then Bush's new torture laws and THIS plan will be implemented NEXT!...
