Yes, America's economy is a war economy. Not a "manufacturing" economy. Not an "agricultural" economy. Nor a "service" economy. Not even a "consumer" economy.

Admit it: we secretly love our war economy

This mentality is pandemic in our nation; I'm afraid the fascism and waste of resources & lives will continue for as long as I'm on this planet.

I think he got drunk off some of the JP koolaid and stumbled over to this forum. Hopefully he has passed out and can just sleep it off.

No question - I just thought the article was spot on.

Granted that wasn't the most coherent comment.
But the way we address war & the use of military in America needs some serious consideration.

The debate won't happen. Both parties are convinced we need to be the policeman of the world. They'll only argue about how it should be done.

Remind us who decided to launch a military offensive the day the Olympics began?

Get a grip. We had no control over what happened there. Unless you're hinting at some kind of evil neocon conspiracy.
Russia intimidated and then went ballistic on Georgia to prove a point ...... it worked.
This is not about us ....... lets just hope we don't get involved in this mess.
