This is new section of blog which addresses the current political and world events. I have non-mainstream views in this area and base it upon study of history. to my point of view, without proper historical context -what some refer to as a cognitive lense - one will not be able to properly discern the motives of current events.
I want to cover the history of the, 'sunni-triangle' and explain the true motives for our presence at strategic transport routes in Afghanistan and Iraq. Some have sent their own child off to fight in this region, and I do sincerely feel for them at this time. I have no qualms at all with the soldiers who are following orders to be there. I do support those troops in the most reasonable manner I see, namely opposing our presence in the region without adequate tactics, strategy, or goals. Clearly, the mission is a failure if we are there to capture Osama Bin Laden or Sadaam Hussein, and the body count and cost in billions of our tax dollars is far too great.
Were we to do the same in search of a criminal in our own country, the loss of life and liberty would cause great dissent. I am aware of studies done by 'think-tanks' over two years before 9/11 which concluded the oil companies needed a route to Asia through Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan and to the Sea. It is no coincidence that the Corporations affiliated with this Administration (Bush,Jr. and Cheney) are reaping tens of billions while our youth suffer and die for no reason related to capturing Bin Laden, or Sadaam.
I will also be putting up article links to show the various relations between the political players who are using our patriotism to fraudulently reap profits. I want you to know I am neither Republican nor Democrat, preferring to support the candidate I believe has American citizens' interests at heart, without regard for political vehicle used to get heard. It does not matter to me if the candidate I support wins, only that I did my best to vote for the candidate with my countrys' interests in proper perspective. I want to hear what your views on this are as well.
