Mr. Kenny was of course quoting Sarah Palin on her Wilsonionism or Bushism that somehow we spread "democracy" with a jet bomber and automatic weapons that kill people. He could have easily given us a definition of democracy but chose to point out Palin's idiotic idea that war is somehow justified when "democracy" is used by a lying president like Wilson in 1917 or when Bush junior uses it in "Occupation Iraqi freedom" in 2003. By intimating that we were doing it for democracy's sake both of them were wrong that we are a democracy. But correct that that is exactly what they were aiming to use war for - to build "democracy" knowing full well that "domcracy" eventually leads to tyranny. When you "dumb down" a nation's people you can get away with it. The JBS was formed to educate the nation's people to prevent sneaks like Wilson and Bush and presidential "conservative" hopefuls like Palin from getting away with ruses like that. - Lee Gonzales Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:58:25 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/war-foreign-policy-blog/5616-choosing-between-war-and-more-war#comment-2938 "We’re not killing civilians, we’re spreading democracy." Democracy is an unstable form of government which leads to anarchy, which then leads to an oligarchy. A lot of civilians die in an anarchy, and recent history proves that civilians are none to safe under an oligarchy, either. So, spreading "democracy" is, in effect, wholesale slaughter of civilians. We have a republic, and a constitution fitted only for a "moral and religious people". Our form of government is NOT a democracy and is NOT suited for use just anywhere in the world. We need to stop expending American lives and spending American dollars to try to change what we see as "bad government" somewhere in the world and impose what we consider "good government" on peoples totally unsuited to same. We have our own monsters to contend with. - rprew Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:39:35 +0100
