In fact Keynes economic theory says: the only way a nation can get out of "recession" is to increase government expenditure e.g. construction of roads, bridges and WAR (war against innocent civilian or alien it doesn't matter, as long as you spend the money on anything...this done to avoid high rate of unemployed big city dwellers from starving to death because as they need wages to buy their foods from groceries. In addition add GREED to this scenario and only A FEW will benefit form war...

Absolutely fantastic! Norman, you are my new hero!

Good job putting Glenn Beck in his place with your cool & collected appearance on his propaganda laced program.

People like Cheny, Bush, Blair or other politicians like them have no morals, no values, no principles, no religions, these words are just for the mass, for us.we are demanded to sacrify for truth and principles. but they sacrify every moral and principle for their INTERESTS. THEY HAVE ONLY INTERESTS, these are the INTERESTS what make the foe a friend and a friend a foe.

Thanks for the comment, HammerSickle. Norman says it all pretty well, doesn't he?

The fact is that war has always been a money maker for the wealthy elites who own and operate the machinery of war. Spears and bows for the Roman legions or Tanks, gernates and machine guns for the American Legions. It has never changed.

Who dies also has not changed. The poor and the bamboozled. Those sold a bill of nationalistic nonsense in order to willingly become canon fodder. The canons supplied by the rich and the blood and guts supplied by the proletariat of every age.
