think of what the united states is doing in libya as "setting the stage"....

think of the current military effort as setting up the board in a game of monopoly. first, you have to get everything in order...the chance cards need to be in place, then the community cards, then the bankers gets the money situated....etc.

when this revolution in libya started, it seemed as if the rebels could really take gadaffi down, but then gadaffi broke out the military and flexed some muscle on the revolt--his own people.

so up until that point, the united states was just letting it roll to see where things were going. once it appeared that gadaffi not only owned all the 'railroads and utilities' (monopoly, remember?), he also had boardwalk "and" park place along with every other meaningful property, and was about to shut it down. he said he was going to go house to house and kill those that are against him

that's when it became obvious if nothing was done, gadaffi would set the example for how all regimes in that region should handle protests. every dictator or autocrat in the region would tighten their hold on the people and dig in to keep power, and then progress is non-existent.

i think once the no-fly zone is established, you will see us back out of daily military operations, and instead focus on legal ways to get him out and try to legitimize the opposition forces, but without the hi-tech means of the united states military, there is no other country that can set something like a no-fly zone and have it be effective.

so we can set the game for them, but then its time to back out and see how its played.

iran

so in the news there are reports of iran bombing villages in northern iraq. what happens if iran where to send a military into iraq? its not like iraq has a real army, and the one they do have is barely holding itself together. iraqs military force is the united states. who has the responsibility of defending iraq? with hundreds of billions of our tax money invested in the war there is no way the united states wont flex its muscle. if iran goes into iraq we will no longer be in a war of choice. its a war of necessity if iran is purposely blowing things up near american "peace keeping" soldiers. maybe thats the whole point of this war. i think the united states is picking a fight. war! war! war!

for profit.

these conservatives, republicans, and "others" (greed mongers) that encourage privatizing our "public" education and instead boost "for profit" charter school trip me out. why do they like to compare what we should be doing to places like "south korea" and "china", and suggest that somehow they have it right on education, and that we should follow the lead. they actually make a case that a class of 100 kids is better than a class of 30, just as long as we pay the teachers more money and invest in a little more training. since when does the unites states strive to be like south korea, or china? no offense to south korea, but for the benefit of making something more profitable, these guys will kick any sense of american pride out the window. whatever happened to patriotism? when did money pass pride as something to admire? they back up their ideas with skewed facts, polls, surveys, etc., and in a lot of instances, just plain lies. the rea...

this blog sort of jumps around, but i like most of its content...

i think as the presidential race unfolds its becoming clear that the race divide in this country is still very present. there is also a great divide in this country when it comes to who has money and who does not. the rich people seem to think all is well with our economy and we are still a strong nation. maybe for those with a couple million in the bank, it probably would be hard to understand the basic needs of the everyday american. i feel that john mccain is a guy that represents so many things that are wrong with our country right now. he is rich, old, son of a military big wig, a former military big wig himself, and white. we is the sort of guy that owns 7 homes and has $100 million in the bank, but wants to run a country where only about 2% of the population can even begin to relate to his way of living. and also a country that is feeling very pinched in the wallet, due in large part to his party’s hot streak of bad economic policies. what does john mccain really have to offer u...
