Let's not ask why they hate us.

[L0oniX]

Let's just deal with the aftermath. Let's just knee jerk react to every terrorist act. Let's keep up the FEAR CAMPAIGN. Let's not think things out. Let's not put ourselves in THEIR SHOES. Let's bomb the fuck out of them. Who cares about the collateral deaths of the INNOCENT? No one. Who cares about our constitution? No one in government. What the media and government will not ask is why do they hate us. Are they countries and peoples with a religion that makes them terrorists? Does their religion make them terrorists? NO ...damn it all. It's our damned government! It's our damned military. It's the damned MIC. It's because we have military bases IN THEIR COUNTRY! It's because our government INTERFEARS WITH THEIR COUNTRIES. It's because we take THEIR RESOURCES. Yea ...let's not use our brains to find the terrorists. Let's send a bull dozer (military) to crush and ant hill (band of criminals) ...oh my ...the ants keep coming back ...what will we do? It's stupid. Stop the wars in THEIR COUNTRIES. Remove our bases from THEIR COUNTRIES. Stop FUNDING THEIR ENEMIES WITH ARMS. STOP DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY WITH YOUR FUCKING WARS AND MILITARY SPENDING. ....................LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE!

1. But our war machine needs a reason to exist

The whole country would fall apart if our military industrial complex comes crashing down.

11. How about some common sense.

9. But then what would happen to all of the jobs it creates!

The CIA, everyone at the Pentagon, the dipshits who own ammunition manufacturing plants, the companies that make all of the clothing, tires, trucks, missiles, planes, food, peripheral industries.

I wonder what unemployment numbers would look like if all military related activities stopped.

I also know my post is stupid. That dream world will never exist. We want things that they have. We aren't going to do what would happen if we answered the question that you ask. The answer is sacrifice. Less, slower, smaller. And to be honest, even the most vigilant of us aren't going there.

So now I have to wonder why I even care. I think I'll have a cup of coffee to start my day. Coffee on an expensive French designed espresso machine that used materials probably created from military actions. Who knows. God I feel stupid. And a smiley here would just be wrong.

10. k/r. Let's BOMB Yemanistan back to one age previous to the one they are currently in!

(E.g.: from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic age.)

12. odd how relatively simple it all really is, yet most people still haven't a clue.

"they hate us for our freedoms, snicker."

of course some will tell you we're keeping the peace. more like securing our investments.

13. ...like when a vet says "We're defending this country" or "We're spreading democracy".
