grinninfooleI have been pondering my opinions about the current war for some time, and I have come to a few conclusions, one of which surprised me.
1) I don't believe that the US government is motivated by a concern for world peace, the safety of US citizens, or the suffering of the Iraqi people. These are fig leaves covering otherwise naked imperialism and greed.
2) I think that this war will trigger a wave of devastating terrorist attacks--some of which will be here in the USA.
3) Some of these attacks will come from home-grown assholes like Timothy McVeigh.
4) My vision for the foreign policy the US should be pursuing looks a lot like the prime directive from star trek. I don't know if these means Gene Roddenberry was a deeper thinker than I realized, or if I'm just a putz.
5) The Daily Show is the only news program I trust. And that's just sad.
