The impending Afghan defeat
#2
When was the last time the US 'won' a war? Probably 1945? But I don't think it matters too much now if wars are won or not. Just waged. It is the new business model. Winning in what way and losing in what way? And who wins and loses? The arms dealers are doing real well and they see a big future in it. Wall Street will just keep printing the money for it. People remain too distracted and indebted to notice or complain. Hollywood will continue the myth making and make movies about brave soldiers liberating US resources from foreign countries (whilst bringing 'freedom and democracy') while all people will remember is brave soldier being rescued by the caring and sharing war machine against all odds. Those evil foreigners just don't like their freedom you know.
