Yes I have seen that before and it pisses me off that nobody in the Western Governments get that. It’s like the damn Palestinian State BS. An independent state isn’t the end goal. I ask the question in the previous post, because the politicians don’t recognize it to be an issue. Thus it takes it off the table of discussion.
You know, we have been working off "the model" that "Western Governments (and the MSM) don't get that" for the last fifteen years. I think that it is time to chuck that "model".
If they didn't "get it", they would make the right moves toward peace & fairness once in a while, even if by accident, but they don't. Every single move that they have claimed would "bring peace to the Balkans" has been a move toward more war, death and destruction. It has really settled nothing, only occasionally delayed the fighting for another time, but more often empowered a new group to continue the fighting. We empower terrorists and then claim to be "fighting a war on terror".
Without wars, "the war machine" (the Halliburtons, the MMPI's) can't survive. If the world was at peace, these business would go the way of the tobacco industry and start to disappear. And I am sure that they convince themselves that they "provide a necessary service to America" and have a right to survive and thrive (even if they survive on drinking blood).
I think that most Western politicians know exactly what they are doing -- they are supporting "their own" elite and using the people of the Balkans to make war and make money off the American taxpayers.
In all honesty, I am really beginning to fear for our country and our people, because we are so disconnected from what our leadership has been doing for the last 20 years, and what's worse -- we just accept that as "normal". That's what scares the hell out of me -- we have a populace that is totally oblivious and disconnected from the idea of "We, the people..." -- except as an empty slogan.
Every four years, we vent our rage at whoever we think "got us into this mess" and really vote more against an opposing candidate, than we do for anyone -- without ever really wondering if all of the career politicians in both parties are more alike and "for each other"(and themselves) than they are for us. The people who don't vote at all are the ones who just refuse to play the elite's "game" -- but there really can be no "conscientious objectors" in this fight.
I can only say that I am glad that I that I have a good life behind me, because what's in front of us may well be one hell of a hard fight to keep the dream of "real America" alive. And in all honesty, I am beginning to think that there may be too few of us to even win.
