"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.
They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."
Thomas More, Utopia

Yes.
Why did these fucktards go into the military in the first place??Didnt you realize that its about soldiering?That means killing folks.
Strong Vid C-T, Thanks!

Well is dirty, war is Hell. This is nothing more than more knee-jerk, self flagellation by people who would love us to just curl up into a fetal position and give our sovereignty over to the United Nations.
I wonder if Russians, Chinese, North Korean, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan or Myanmar would allow such a video to me produced denigrating their soldiers and their war operations?
No doubt the answer is a resounding NO.
(heavy sigh)
ps. Hi Shady!
Hi Shady, always a pleasure.
Rue the point to remember is that the decision to unleash the US armed forces upon Iraqi civilization was grossly unjustified given the fact that Iraq never posed a credible threat to the US. Never. Some of our soldiers recognize this fact and have rightly condemned the actions of their government.
Furthermore, following Iraq's destruction in the First Gulf War it could no longer pose a threat to its neighbors much less the US. So all that followed as depicted in the video were war crimes of the highest magnitude. The US is guilty of aggression, in fact, the supreme war crime. This subject was detailed in FAIR a few years ago in very perceptive essay by Noam Chomsky that I’ll excerpt here:
“Aggression, in the [Nuremberg] Tribunal’s judgment, was identified as “the supreme international crime,” differing from others only in that it encompasses all of the evil that follows. So with Iraq, the supreme crime of aggression encompasses the savage destruction of Fallujah, sectarian violence, death squads, the desperate flight of 2 million people, displacement of 2 million others and the rest of the horrors of the past few years that are too familiar to review, with the aggressors absolved from blame except in marginal respects, in keeping with the conventional refusal to sip from the poisoned chalice.”
-NC
The rest is worth a read and I think instructive.
Oh by the way Rue, there’s things such as this that pop up from time to time.
No Justice, No Peace. Thanks for the video, Coldie.
This weekend's convention of the Democratic Socialists of America, being held in Evanston, is being shown live on their web page:

They are the only leftist group critizing Obama. I know you and Shadi are intertested.
