and how 'can' we stop them dave? by protesting so they
can laugh at us and tell us how we don't understand.
the war is for capital and securing oil profits and
setting up yet another puppet regime that will allow
investors to go there and set up markets in not only
oil but whatever else they can steal from the iraqis. 

do you really think they give a rat's ass about
protestors? c'mon. there's $ to be made and $ is worth
a whole lot more to them than a bunch of worthless
iraqis.

don't get me wrong, i don't want a war. i really
don't. but i also don't see bush saying 'gee the
american ppl don't want war so i guess i better listen
to them.' he doesn't care about the masses, he cares
about finishing what his old man with nazi connections
started so he can make daddy proud, and secure
transnational profits to keep capitalism moving.

ppl protested afghanistan too. a lot of good that did.


at least in america, i think if you want to change the
warrior mindset it must start in grade school history
classes and progress on through high school. no more
of this winner written propaganda that passes for
history. there must also be socialized education so
everyone has an equal chance (without financial
worries) at higher education at which point i think
the masses would have a better chance at a decent
education andmight be more open to diplomatic
alternatives. but with a staterun media like the one
here in the US that offers very little alternative to
the gov'tal hardline it's difficult to move beyond it.
the only decent anti-war articles come in dissident
newspapers that not really anyone reads.

anyway, i'm going back to my nihilistic void to watch
my wwe pay-per-view.
