Interests of America as a whole and we toss our blood and treasure, taking other nations' blood and treasure and say it's for 'National Security.' Or is it dressed up corporate 'security' to protect their right to business as they please in the world?
Do we accept the idea of an American Empire that uses euphemistic language for what was once called looting and pillaging? Is there a way of thinking that makes the war profiteers' actions worthy of our respect?
Do they and their millions supporters believe that the other nations of the world should give into our 'Might Makes Right' in the world? Are they really protecting us, by securing the resources they are taking?
Because I believe deep down some Americans really do support the wars to maintain their standard of living. I know that not everyone is losing their homes, their health care, their jobs over these wars.
Some are doing quite well. And while their bellies are full, whatever is done can be rationalized. The violence being done to our democratic values is not important to them, such issues as abortion and human rights don't effect them. Really, they don't feel any concern about it. IMHO.
I apologize if I went off topic to your reply, but I'm thinking out loud and I hope it applies to the OP in regards to the war on terror being extended to the home base against people who are trying to help our democracy.
