"we" got Iraq and Afgh, and Iran is still a target. it's all about oil, and preventing Russia and China from controlling it. all the bull crap about terrorism is just that. keep your stupid open letters to yourselves. this is geopolitics, not some cry baby game.
you people kidding yourselves? obama is not some benevolent savior king who is here to save you and wave his magic wand and create your "progressive" utopia for you. he's carrying out the agenda of fighting it out with the other superpowers over control of the world's resources. that agenda by the way, is always the same, no matter who the fking prez is. why do they always talk about "bipartisanship"? cause nobody wants to rock the boat to much. you really think the Dems and the GOP are out to destroy each other? i don't think so. they always need "my honored colleague from across the aisle". just like we always need a saddam or a bin laden, or some other fucking moron who think's he is the ruler of some fucking backasswards thirdworld dump of a country. we read the history of Afgh by another diarist today, and we see the same pattern happening over and over again, in Afgh, Iraq, Iran, you name it any mid east country. king after king, warlord after warlord. they come and go, they kill each other, and then it's the next guy's turn. in the middle of it you had the brits, russians, dutch, other eruopean countries. and then the americans joined into the game. that's all it is, a big stupid bloody game over who takes the natural resources. 100 years from now people will be blogging (or maybe the internet will be all telepathic by then) about how we were playing this game today, and they'll be playing their own version of it (maybe fighting over the moon or mars by then). unless the other diarist's predictions come true, and we all fucking burn to hell and become like Venus. There's a theory that the reason we don't find any intelligent life in the universe is that any such intelligent civilization will destroy itself before it can be discovered by another one. now write another open letter on that!
