When Push Comes To Shove, Both Democrats And Republicans Beat Every War Drum In Sight

This is the way Uncle Sam's Israeli allies think they'll win the war against Palestine.

What's wrong with this picture?

Dear Fred,

Thanks for your email.

We are a war-loving people.

Mario Cuomo (in a passage I have been unable to track down) said that the United States (a country he dearly loved) 'is the most violent society in human history.'

Imagine. 

We are now in the midst of Perpetual Warfare yet -- statistically speaking -- the world has never been safer.

Furthermore, we are bound -- intimately and (perhaps) inextricably -- to another singularly war-loving people.

War Historian M. Van Creveld: "Israeli Airforce Ready To Bomb European Capitals"

"Is Israel The World's Worst Terror State? An Israeli General's Son Thinks So"


There is a story (which rings true) that during the run-up to the War Powers Authorization vote Hillary bumped into John Kerry in the Senate cloakroom and said: "If you want to have a future in American politics, you need to vote for War Powers."


The reason you and I are marginal to "The Game" is that we refused to play along.

Ya gotta pay to play.

A fin de cuentas... there is only one outstanding question - a wild card in an already wild deck. 

Is the pen mightier than the sword?



It is coming down to an Islamic girl against the planetary Warrior Class.

Senators defy President on Iran deal ...... so why in hell didn't the Democrats do this in 2003? Why didn't Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and all the other Democratic Senators tell Pres. Bush they did not support his intended invasion of Iraq? Where was their courage?
