Isn't this theory,"Fight them over there so we don't have fight them over here.." just a bit worn out?
How long will people continue to believe canards like this latest promulgated bogeymen (wait it's the Germans, no the Japs, no wait its the Germans again, correction its those damn commies! Or is the illegal immigrants?)which is always shifting and changing appearances to suit the needs of those in power? Butler Shaffer was right: "The so-called "war on terror" is just another of the many state-run rackets designed to benefit governmental, media, and various business interests, all of whom profit from state-induced fears of others. Greater power and more tax dollars flow to political systems; the media enjoys an increase in viewers and readers; while untold numbers of government contractors, along with suppliers of goods and services for a market of frightened people, profit from this protection racket. In threatening to expand the war to other countries, the state increases hostilities from its targeted enemies, thus engendering more fears from Americans who demand "protection." If physicians could figure out ways to inject people with deadly viruses that they could then treat with expensive tests, drugs, and medical advice, their profession would precisely correlate with the methods of the state!"--The Bogeyman Industry by Butler Shaffer http://www.lewrockwell.com/shaffer/shaffer143.html --- In [email protected], "Bob Giramma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Deterrence was a Cold War policy.

Such a war would drive more Muslims toward terrorism. It would be a war for terrorism instead of a war against terrorism. We should do in Iran what we should have done in Iraq. We should return to our traditional policy of deterrence. Please join me in asking Congress to pass a resolution opposing a Presidential attack on Iran, and asking them to restore the traditional policy of deterrence.
