Since World War II the United States has been fighting “wars” that are “police actions” to maintain order.

Phrases like the “New World Order” have been used by leaders like Bush 41 to describe it.

Rumsfeld himself said the “war” after September 11th is not like the ones fought in the past.

The war in Afghanistan is what conservatives I listened to as a child in the 1970’s called a “no-win war.”

Vietnam was such a war with “rules of engangement” to prevent a conventional military victory like World War II.

Afghanistan is a higher-tech, lower casualty version of Vietnam.

“Since World War II the United States has been fighting “wars” that are “police actions” to maintain order.”


Excellent point. These “police actions” create profits for some, the tragic loss of lives and loss of quality of life for many others. Rarely can they ever be actually won using said rules of engagement, or do they actually benefit the USA, and I question if they are about defending the USA and our freedoms. Why? Because while we are stretched all over the world frittering away the last gasp of our credit, we are being invaded and our borders breached regularly by those bring in drugs and crime and war to American citizens inside of our borders.

Another thing I find troubling is that many of the same politicians that historically wanted the USA to have full and open immigration, amnesties and open borders, are the same ones promoting secure borders for Israel. The fact that we have USA politicians pushing for open USA borders while closed in Israel doesn’t make any sense. Why would they not care about the USA?
