Very nice piece, David.<br>
<br>
The United States is Characterized by its military-industrial complex.<br>
<br>
"The American War Machine"<br>

<br>
It is the Duty of the American people to alter or abolish its
government, <br>
junk the War Machine, and establish new guards...<br>
<br>
If somehow the Americans are unwilling and unable to stop the war
machine<br>
there are forces greater, inexorable, that <u>will </u>bring about
the ultimate<br>
destruction of this evil empire... (I keep looking at my watch.)<br>
<br>
The war on terra...<br>

<i>Dominus virtutum nobiscum susceptor noster Deus Iacob diapsalma<br>
venite et videte opera Domini quae posuit prodigia super terram<br>
auferens bella usque ad finem terrae arcum conteret et confringet arma
et scuta conburet in igne<br>
vacate et videte quoniam ego sum Deus exaltabor in gentibus exaltabor
in terra</i>.<br>

my part, the key issue which motivates my opposition to the Libya war
is what it means for the future of the United States and of the world.
For well over half a century, the United States has been cannibalized
by its military-industrial complex, which has infantilized its moral
sense, squandered its wealth and undermined its political integrity.
Our political leaders are not genuine leaders, but have been reduced to
the role of apologists for this monster, which has a bureaucratic
momentum of its own – proliferating military bases around the world,
seeking out and even creating servile client states, needlessly
provoking other powers such as Russia and China. The primary political
duty of Americans and their European allies should be to reduce and
dismantle this gigantic military machine before it leads us all
inadvertently into “the supreme international crime” of no return.</span></div>
