'war culture' is an international language
and the u.s.of a. consistantly comes in with top marks
- in every class that's the reward for doing your homework
for wars with international/national support it's weapons on display
'let's get 'em out and get it on!'
but when there needs to be some sneaking round involved
so NO ONE knows what';s going on
guess who have the $$$, connections and two-faced arrogance to play the game
in that arena as well? who funded noriega hussain AND bin laden?
yeah, it's a rhetorical question kids - U.S.A. O.K.
and the americans who don't understand 'why' of violent culture simply
aren't members of the military cause you've got to have specialists
right?
it's a mistake to think that entire cultures live for war
of course the sad fact is that many cultures live with war
and to survive as a culture even your child must take up arms
aren't we lucky we're not at that stage? but if there was no
alternative.... and stating that you do not understand the violent culture
is to rudely ignore the infinate injustices inflicted on people by people
within the very boundaries of 'the land of the free' by specialists and
amateurs alike
my friends have been suffering nightmares filled with bombs helicopters and
exploding oil tankers the propoganda machine is in full swing
poisoning our fragile minds
humane considerations have been swamped in a wash of hate
my question for you all....has anyone seen chomsky's lucid work of honesty
Manufacturing Consent?
if the world survives,how long will this refusal to accept responsibilty
continue? i think the 2nd is dependant on the 1st
