Americans don't need another war

Is Syria worth dying over? No. It would be a tragedy for you to die — or to kill — over Syria, North Korea, Russia, or any other country the U.S. government is trying to goad into war.

Americans don’t need another war in some country that can never be a credible threat to Americans at home.

That just a new money pit, because apparently your money isn’t being shoveled into the other U.S. government money pits fast enough to satisfy the military hardware pushers.

I understand some people are excited about policing the world and spreading “democracy” with perpetual war. I wonder how their democracy missiles work. By spraying Truth, Justice, and The American Way shrapnel with each hellish explosion?

These “compassionate” wars give a new generation excuses to hate Americans. Their problem isn’t really with Americans, but with the aggressive, war-addicted U.S. government.

The people might not want their tax-stolen money used to create more terrorists abroad, but government gets what it wants.

I know Russians aren’t synonymous with the Russian government, the Chinese aren’t the same as the Chinese government, and Syrians aren’t the Syrian government. Few people are able to see the disconnect between a people and the criminal government that claims to operate on their behalf.

For the record, I am not the U.S. government and if you have a problem with them, your problem isn’t with me.

People rarely behave so badly as when they group with like-minded psychopaths and call themselves a government. If everyone refused to join them in their psychopathy, they would have no one willing to die or murder to promote governmental interests.

Military aggression isn’t a good thing; it’s never healthy for the people of either country — not for the aggressors nor for the defenders trying to defeat the invaders. Yet people fall for the propaganda. They always have.

Hermann Göring, Nazi leader and founder of the Gestapo said it like this: “...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists (sic) for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

Does it work on you? Do you mistake opposition to aggression for “pacifism?”

The regime posing the greatest credible threat to your life, liberty, and property is not in Syria, Russia, or North Korea, but in Washington DC.

Are you their willing sacrifice?
