Julius Caesar, in a dispatch to the Roman Senate in 47 B.C., after the battle of Vienna, where he beat the Turks, said, "Veni, Vidi, Vici," which translated into English, says, "I came, I saw, I conquered." His Senate was so impressed with him, that they conspired to have him assassinated on "The Ides of March" in 44 B.C., less than three years later. George Bush, fraudulently invaded Iraq and Afghanistan for no good reason, and then doubled the evil by having the un – "Patriot Act" passed. Why is it that America has to be the policeman of the world? Or at least it thinks it should be.
Why do we still have 25,000 troops in Korea, 25,000 in Okinawa, and thousands everywhere in the world? There are 56 U.S. facilities in Germany, 113 in Italy, 84 in Japan, and numerous other bases and facilities in just about every nation on earth, outside of communist nations. Why? Can you imagine the cost to tax payers of the one single U.S. jet helicopter which blasted, destroyed and killed doctors and patients of that hospital? (It has since been hushed up, of course). In the Republican debate Wednesday night, not a single candidate said a word about us getting out of foreign entanglements, as George Washington said in his 'farewell address.' Not a single 'conservative' candidate expressed alarm at the huge cost and hatred of America, caused by us messing in everyone's business.
Everything government touches it messes up, and that is not an untrue statement, be it at home or abroad. Iraq was ruled by Saddam Hussein, in what I would call a brutal manner, but he had it under control, and there was no destruction in Iraq. We killed Saddam, and Iraq is virtually destroyed. We bombed and killed Libya and Gaddafi, and Libya is a virtual no man's land, with no law, order, government, and virtual total chaos. Gaddafi may have been harsh, and anti-American, but he had Libya under control, and there was no destruction. Now America wants to get rid of Assad in Syria, who is not a really 'nice guy,' but Putin is correct in wanting to keep him there, to avoid what happened to Libya and Iraq.
Afghanistan was invaded by U.S. over a dozen years ago, and it is costing billions of dollars a year, with no obvious results as far as peace, democracy, or the obliteration of the Taliban. Korea and Vietnam cost us over 100,000 American lives, and a direct quote from my book, chapter 45, titled "Neutrality," is: "What happened to the communism that we fought and preached so vehemently against for so many decades? It fell, but only because of its own idiocy, not anything we did. Are Vietnam and Cambodia better off now that we messed around in them and killed 58,000 or our boys? Of course not. Was Korea, with similar statistics, better off when mighty America entered the brawl? Nope. Has any nation ever loved us for giving them foreign aid? Heavens no." It's a good chapter.
Chinese Airplanes???
The Chinese communist government has told the world that it is going to make airplanes! Similar in size to Boeing's 737. Wanna ride in one? Not me. Think about it. Chinese dog food killed lots of dogs. Chinese sheet rock has made thousands of construction jobs have to be repeated. Chinese baby food killed hundreds. Chinese roller bearings have cause a lot of accidents. Are they going to make the planes with the typical dollar an hour wages? Chinese cars? I wouldn't want one of those, but ride in a Chinese airplane, fostered and ordered by a communist government? The same government which has built lots of uninhabited cities and thousands of unoccupied apartments, shopping centers? The Chinese can build millions of geegaws found in big box stores, and Walmart began the huge purchases from China which spouted into making China a world power…with cheap labor for geegaws, but not jet engines. Who's going to make the engines for the Chinese jet planes? From what I hear, the whole plane will be made in China, and of course Chinese need a lot of planes because the nation is so large. Let them ride in Chinese planes, and surely they won't be imported by American, Delta, Southwest, or other airlines. The very idea of a Chinese airplane is so shocking, and at the same time laughable, that I can't get over it. Let them build bicycles and even tires. I don't think they build large size flat screen TV's yet, as they seem to come from Korea, which is a non-communist, free trade nation. Freedom to vote, think, protest, write, speak, innovate, complain, and prosper are characteristic of nations who do not rule with an iron hand, as America is becoming under Obama. I am trying to think of, as I finish this, what things communist nations have invented? Russia stole their atomic stuff from America. The Chinese and other commie outfits steal our music, movies, inventions, manufacturing capabilities, and everything they have, it seems, because non-free, non thinking, non-innovative slaves, simply cannot think beyond trying to keep alive under slavery, which is what communism and Democrat socialism really is.
