Joining the fun

Michael Hawkins:

Bush would do well to listen to his own words, such as this comment on "Meet the Press" last weekend: "See, free societies are societies that don't develop weapons of mass terror and don't blackmail the world."


He is, of course, incapable of sensing the overwhelming hypocrisy of statements like this, and will, of course, never apply its rationale to his own policy.

[. . .]

The point being, the U.S. (often through its client state, Israel) is determined to retain the lion's share of weapons contracts, and it is willing to play Nuclear Roulette in order to maximize product viability. It GREATLY DESIRES a new global arms race, and is willing to "bungle" its foreign policy in order for the Irans and North Koreas of the world to join in the fun.


Michael's always getting me to look at another angle. And with Chimpy Inc's devotion to the military/industial machine, he probably called it correctly.
