Leaders Don't Kill People...
Must Read - A quote....03/20/07 "ICH" -- -- -If I have my facts straight, George W. Bush has never killed a single person in his life. All the torture and death that people attribute to him has been carried out by people who were "only following orders.  -  Psychologically, I find this quite interesting.  As a person, it doesn't appear that Bush would or could hurt anyone, especially not innocent people.  But, as "commander-in-chief," he can order and oversee actions that result in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents without even batting an eye.  A friend and critic of mine believes that leaders such as Bush assume full responsibility for the actions of a nation's military.  I strongly disagree."

Obviously this is from a Libertarian perspective.  Some of you might object to the author’s proposed solution to the problem of American Empire by asking the question "what about another terrorist attack"?

The answer to your question would be the following….assuming the overwhelming evidence now available, which would lead any sensible person to believe the suspiciously well timed, highly fortuitous, extremely lucrative, predicted and planned for event of 9/11 was directly attributable to this nation's amoral elites….was instead, as some bizarre conspiracy nuts would have you believe, attributable to a “spontaneous gathering of spiteful cave dwelling malcontents”, one could still lay much of the blame for 9/11 on the aggravating, contributing and causal factors of ongoing US governmental policies.

Specifically, it is a matter of  public record that billions of dollars from the US government were directly given to the Taliban and indirectly to al Qaeda throughout the eighties, while contacts and logistical help were provided to the Mujahideen and therefore indirectly to al Qaeda well into the mid and late nineties.

Not to mention the non-stop financial support, utterly ignored one might add by our government, that al Qaeda continues to receive to this day from our erstwhile allies the Pakistanis and Saudi Royals.

Unbelievable as it may seem, it now appears that the US has recently engaged in a full scale effort to actually increase the support already provided by our allies to al Qaeda and other extremist Sunni Wahhabist groups as part of Washington’s efforts to counteract Iran's growing influence.

All of this ongoing support, not just for al Qaeda, but the MEK the PKK the Baluchistan Separatists and a plethora of other additional "freedom fighters", "death squads", "counter terror units" and "false flags operations per P2OG" is being provided by the US government in its ceaseless effort to expand its New Roman Empire.

And all of this support will inevitably lead to a never ending cycle of creative destruction along with the resultant “blowback” to this nation and the terrible consequences enumerated by the author in his article - an ever expanding government, an increasingly voracious Military-Industrial-Complex, and the continued diminishment of our civil rights, freedoms and livelihoods.

Not to mention the deaths, injuries and destitution of millions of innocents across the globe.

Exactly what the author objects too.

Perhaps we should follow his recommendation and stop building the Empire? - mpg
