There's also a nice little naval arms race heating up in east asia. That said, your central point - on Israeli warmongering - is undeniably correct.Pechorinhttp://pechorin2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1882309326796248182012-02-08T19:44:06.743-08:002012-02-08T19:44:06.743-08:00"I don't understand why any of these peop..."I don't understand why any of these people would speak to anyone but Sy Hersh on the matter, do you?"<br /><br />Because it's kabuki theater.

That's why the US army couldn't find any in Iraq.<br /><br />The WMD issue was the neocon casus belli. It is vile anti-Semitism to consider that the neocons were lying then.

Then I read:<br /><br /><i>So, he asks this rich and spoiled looking political wife, "How many pairs of shoes do you own?" She immediately recognizes this reference to Imelda Marcos and chews an abashed Stone out for several minutes for his sexist impertinence.</i><br /><br />...and laughed some more.

What would be the point? It's a bit of a Pax Americana. I assume nations on the periphery of the Roman Empire stopped trying to challenge the beast at some point. <br /><br />So, if world ever loses it's Alpha Dog, isn't there likely to be renewed interest in beefing up militaries? As Iraq showed back in 1990, nations are very willing to cross borders and conquer if the can get away with it. At the moment, most countries think they can't get away with it - for now.Wesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-49075207427830529062012-02-07T23:33:54.415-08:002012-02-07T23:33:54.415-08:00"Okay, so the threat Syria's chemical war..."Okay, so the threat Syria's chemical warheads pose to Israel is kind of like the threat that Venezuela poses to Florida."<br /><br />Yes, since Syria's nuclear program is now its, um, <i>former</i> nuclear program.<br /><br />Muslims...seriously...make friends with Israel.
