And that what its all about.
So once again the Rag Blog is leading the charge in the name idiocy. This time is claiming that the fighting in Afghanistan has nothing to do with Afghanistan, but the maintaining perpetual war for the sake of war.
But George Orwell’s 1984 — now updated with important new books — illuminates the bigger picture: “continuous warfare” is the key to social control.
It keeps the public frightened and dependent.
Yea, this is the same conflict that was being referred to the Just war when compared to Iraq. Also the conflict that people think that we went in alone when in fact the UN passed a Resolutions 1378 and Resolution 1386 .
Nowhere has our military madness become more transparent than in the Obama Administration. The “shellacking” the Democrats took this fall stems directly from Obama’s painfully visible failure to bring hope or change to a nation at war since 1941.
At War for over 60 years? That is beyond a stretch, I would like know what war was going between 1953-1964, 1973-1990 and 1995-2003. I would also like to know what their definition of what is a War. Notice the following part below.
Thus Afghanistan. Before it: The Cold War, Korea, Vietnam, Central America. After: Whoever else is handy.
Yea, notice how they talk about we have been at War since 1941 and neglected to bring up one of the most bloodiest War is left out. Because depending on the conflicts a really bad day can be considered a good day. So how are you judging what is considered a war and what is not? I mean if we are counting every little military action as full blown war then we are really lowering the bar. Also the fact that the Korean War was a UN lead conflict and the UN also approved the Gulf War in 1991.
But the bet part is thoughts like this one.
War is a choice, and we need to stop choosing it.
Yea…

Just maybe Spock, just maybe this person grieving the Communists losing the Cold War or something like that? That’s the only continuously running war I can remember. During that time frame after the war that was not mentioned that is. Maybe the Pentagon can set me straight in case I am wrong?
I would like to point out that War is often the last option. In the Case of WWII it was forced upon us. You can argue the causes and mismanagement is PAINFULLY easy to argue from about 1946-1989 but America is and always was a good nation, that sees itself as a defender. Even as the aggressor we are naive but not truly evil, or even “Warmongering”.
the “perpetual war” described in 1984 was in fact under a communist regime. America and Great Brittan have proven that Democratic rule will not endure long an “endless” war. Once a threshold is reached, Democratic countries will cease fighting.
