WAR IS ABOUT SATING THE MILITARY-SECURITY-INDUSTRIAL-COMPLEX

Simon Jankins über den Krieg in Afghanistan (The Guardian 28. July 2010)

SO  DEUTLICH WÜRDE ICH DAS GERNE AUCH IN DEUTSCHEN ÜBERREGIONALEN TAGESZEITUNGEN LESEN:

„I cannot avoid the conclusion that, just as the Pashtun are said to be hard-wired to fight, so now are certain western regimes. War is about sating the military-security-industrial complex, a lobby so potent that, long after the cold war ended, it can induce democratic leaders to expend quantities of blood and money on such specious pretexts as suppressing dictators in one country and terror in another.

Like puppets dancing to manufacturd fears and dreams of glory, these leaders have lost their grip on Plato´s ´sacred golden cord of reason´. Until that grip is restored, the folly revealed by the war logs will continue.“
