It's sad to see so many here on DU this a.m. who are in that camp of the MIC. I remember when Bush kept saying our "theaters" when talking about "bringing Democracy to the ME," and if you ever saw any of the Heritage, AIPAC and Council on Foreign Relations, et al conferences broadast on C-Span II, they also would mention the "theaters of staging." So, now we are in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Libya. And, who is paying for this? Teachers, Firefighters, Nurses and the rest of us left after the Banksters crashed the global economy. Still, there is money for war and more wars. And the same "Powers that Be" run it all, own the media and we are no better off than we were with Bush.
