Bluntly, nothing makes sense. We trained the Taliban in Afghanistan to fight the USSR. Now we're buddying up with the Russians to take down the Taliban, and in the ordinary business of the war, we will destroy their pop py fields where the Taliban grows the raw material for their heroin. In the meantime, reports are that the Afghanistan leaders are getting their caches of heroin out of the country, presumably to protect their investment that brings in cash for war. Three years ago we were nosing into the Balkans, where our troops are still located, to pursue "justice" in Kosovo and stop the nasties from harming those pitiful children we saw on the front pages of the newspapers. We were defending ethnic Albanians from Serbs ... that is, protecting Muslims from mean Orthodox Christians and now we're out to get the bad, bad Muslims whose radical elements bombed our World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It has even been rumored that our neighbor to the south, Colombia, whose drug business is world famous, wants to pull a few terrorist ploys up here. Now, all this smacks not so much of political ideologies (other than the ever-present and always overriding agenda of the new world order) as it does a high level "war" involving drug cartels, big money operations, and th e oil-money trail. Put another way: THIS WHOLE MESS STINKS. Innocent lives, here and abroad, are being lost and it isn't a battle between "good" and "evil" or any other such virtuous crusader terms. (There was nothing virtuous about the Crusades either, just greed and politics.) It doesn't seem to be about true religious fervor, although that's a useful tool with which to manipulate the masses, most of whom haven't any idea what's going on. Neither do most of us in the USA. We're rallying aroun d the flag, our standard of liberty, while the government takes our liberties away from us. We're losing our republic to a shadow regime that is abrogating our constitutional rights, seemingly in spite of any candidate w e elect, how much we as a citizenry protest, or how many armed troops are put in place "for our safety." Sure doesn't sound like government "of the people, by the people" to me. But what we, the people, would never stand for in times of peace, we have been begging for in time of war. Protection. And the government is waiting to oblige most fervently and with full force. How Orwellian of us. How bizarre that folks feel more comfortable going to an airport filled with armed guards than getting on a plane where the pilot and first officer are armed. Notably, though, with all these wartime measures in place, our Congress hasn't declared war. On anyone. We have our best Airborne divisions in central Asia, two of our best aircraft carriers and an undisclosed number of support ships in the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf, and we haven't declared war on anyone. It just l ooks like war. It feels and sounds like war. Our Special Forces are operating in or around Afghanistan, and we're not at war with Afghanistan. At least, Congress hasn't declared war on that nation. Maybe we're in another Operation, Conflict, Campaign or Intervention? Our president has declared a war on terrorism, and that isn't a country against which our Congress is able to declare an official war. So the Congress gives our president broad powers to fight a non-nation, a group of int ernational thugs. We're at war with something against which Congress cannot declare war, and against which the president has declared "war" as this nation's response to good versus evil. Why is it that since World War I I we haven't been able to declare war, but we're always involved in military operations somewhere? Most of them to our discredit? A lot of innocent people died on September 11th and something very rotten is going on. The trail always seems to end up at the top with our own country getting politically involved where it shouldn't, and spending taxpay er dollars to fund both sides of the line. Following the money trail always leads to people in high places in the US carrying on business with people in high places in the nations that supposedly are enemies or are harbo ring enemies of our country. We'd like to believe we're fighting for our freedom as Americans, but Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has stated that we can expect some of those freedoms to be eroded. Are all the innocent citizens of all the nations involved in our global conflict just being used as pawns in a high level war for control of the oil and illegal drug cartels? If this whole mess is a supersized gang war, then it's about enslavement of the masses and not preserving our liberties or fighting a war for "justice" anywhere. Perhaps the drug users are the ones who have figured out that being stoned out of their minds is the only way to live in a fouled up world like this. It just doesn't sound like a way of life to me, but a way of death. T he way of the Christian faith is an anchor for the soul, not an opiate for the mind. So I put my consolation there, but consolation doesn't stop curiosity. People universally want peace, the history of the world is war and bloodshed; our founding fathers established a republic and gave us the framework upon which to build a free country. Now we're not only losing our freedoms, we're constantly fighting a military campaign of one sort or another, first to protect Muslims and depose Milosevic, now to take out the Muslim radicals and depose bin Laden, and all the while Russia and China are watching us use our troops and war materiel to fight shadow terrorists while the economy tanks. And, they're watching us through high-tech equipment they either stole from us or were gifted by us, at our taxpayers' expense. Is this a Spielberg movie? If so, it's run too long. If this is reality, then we either better take back our republic or get used to the police state that's popping out everywhere. The only other option is to move to another planet.
