Let�s not forget George Bush�s obligation to protect the oil interests of his family and friends. There was another, more important, consideration at work. Here�s what really happened.
The simple fact was that America was long overdue to drop high explosives on helpless civilians; people who have no argument with us at all. After all, it had been awhile, and the hunger gnaws. That�s our specialty: picking on countries that have marginally effective air forces. Yugoslavia (this has been updated a little) is another, more recent, example. One reason that we�re good at war is that we practice a lot. We�re a 200-year-old democracy, and we�ve had ten major wars. That�s a war every twenty years. We�re good at it, because we practice. We can�t make a TV anymore, can�t make a cellphone, can�t make a VCR, we got no steel industry, no textile industry, we can�t educate our young people, can�t fix our old people and their problems with health, but we can bomb the shit out of your country. Especially if your country is full of brown people. We like that. That�s our hobby. That�s our new job in the world, bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya. You got some brown people in your country? Tell them to watch the fuck out! Who were the last white people that you can remember that we bombed? The Germans. That�s it. They�re the only ones, because they were trying to cut in on our action! They wanted to dominate the world. Fuck you, that�s our job! full: http://www.writersblocpresents.com/archives/carlin/carlin.htm -- The Marxism list: www.marxmail.org
