With Iraq eventually costing $3 trillion (which I think is optimistic) and finance the operated of the missle defence shield targeted at Russia ( although they say its for missle strikes from Iran although the US rejected an other from Russia to station it in Turkey where it would be more effective) how much will the US debt increase by.

"as long as there are warlords, lucrative heroin trade routes, Islam – all antidotes for democracy."

Factors that lead to war (no matter where on Earth it is:

a) Islam

b) warlords, private armies, paramilitaries

c) quick source of income by illicit trade (white slavery, drugs, black market of one kind or another)

d) Lack of infrastructure (roads, phones, indoor plumbing, media, etc.)

Yes it sounds silly that lack of indoor plumbing may lead to war, but some people would rather have use of a good bathroom than a cell phone.

An awful lot of people get very grumpy in lack of indoor plumbing and their irritability may incite others towards attaining some other goals by force. God forbid they had enough shoulder launched missiles, IEDs, and other similar goodies in a demographically unstable region where two or three sects of Islam are infighting for centuries - hence, war it is.

Looking at some other rainbow
I was praying in the dark
You're telling us the same old story
That reality is stark
But when we see you you are GONE

That was a wonderful remark -
I had my eyes closed in the dark.

How could you tell us something
Just to keep us hanging on -

When we see you you are gone. -V.M.

As for us here in the U.S. :

"To this I witness call the fools of time,
Which die for goodness, who have lived for crime." -W.S.

But kids get your [illegal] taxes in today on time. They'll give you a sweetener (a cookie) your $600 rebate.

I.e. pay your taxes, get a check.

Right, same old same old. Good thing we bombed and incinerated 600,000 defenseless women and children in Berlin, during the other good war, or was that Hamburg or both. 'Proud to be an American.'

We just sing about Jesus
And drink wine all day-
It's great to be an American! -R.N.

Step 1........Crash the economy and destroy the middleclass.

Step 2.........Invite the middleclass to war because there's no jobs.

Step 3.........Invite the Northeasterners to become war profiteers.

Step 4.........Claim that the war saved the economy.

Step 5.........Bury the dead.

It's amazing to me, that I can agree with everything you say very well indeed spell checker or not. You speak well in English. And yet it is your *conclusion after all at the end of it - I can't help but laugh at. (Thanks it lowers my blood pressure, laughter.)

It's a case of (in your case) from every conclusion comes the [conclusion] except prior comes the alleged 'analysis.' ...

It's as if in the reverse (or as it were, on the Other hand) those who reside in the reality of the M.E. (Middle East) & via their own perspective Islam, they were doing the same thing in behalf of what is necessary for order in their part of the world, as they inevitably must do of course. But then they too concluded (like we do in the reverse) well, war it must be. *But are they in Fact here attacking us daily, like we are them? No. ... You are like them Iliya (and *some of us) without perhaps realizing it. I hope you're satisfied??

The world, worldwide, for many *knowable reasons ain't the same in TIME. (Without realizing it perhaps, you yourself make my point.) You don't see this, do you?

The Christian perspective, (and our religion ain't democratic either, fortunately) suggests to us it's about the essence of each side and where they're at in time (again for many knowable reasons I won't get into here.) ... The 'essence' means who they/we are on Each side in toto, and it's *different and needs to be respected as such by each and all.

Or there will be, as there is now, perpetual war, sir. ... If that is the choice made among the leaders for perpetual war, then frankly speaking that in Fact is the essence of the war monger *per se.

Our leaders currently refuse to see the essence of the Other (and vice versa no doubt.) However it is we who are over there where they live attacking them (simply because we *can. Just like the Romans used to do.) That's NOT *America. ... The Others, our alleged opponents, are not doing that here (except 9/11 if you actually believe camel herders pulled off what only insiders could achieve.) ... But even if they did 9/11 all by their lonesome all ALONE coming off of their camels to pull off the crime of the millennium, still it was in response to what we Do to them where they live and we do that to them all day everyday. Right? Everywhere. Wipe the clouds from your eyes. Don't insult us. We're a little older now and not that consumately stupid any longer.

Iliya this isn't lost in the translation is it? You're capable of at least that much objectivity. No? ... You really are only in Fact speaking in behalf of your own very personalized interest and that of your own sons, and in behalf of the by comparison relative few in your camp, who are over there in the M.E. Right? Then, sir I ask are you yourself a war monger? Do you receive the message herein? Can you?

There is NO defining 'logic' to any of this. In a nutshell we (the U.S.) are militarily in 140 countries around the world and attacking people in the M.E. ... They are NOT here with their forces doing that to us. ... Who then is to 'blame' since you are in so many words (spell checked or not) assigning blame. ... Are you hoping for more insider attacks on the U.S. more false flag attacks so that blame can be more easily assigned. And you then can *justify 'logically' the wars you so transparently crave, in behalf of your own ends? Perhaps not. But if so then are you a war monger?

If so who then is OUR enemy? I ask you Iliya who IS the enemy?

The essence of 'attack' which means attack in toto is, believe it or not, an asking for help. What in hell do you want? More HELL? Then be HONEST - flat out make the case instead for more hell per se. Please. So you see more hell as a prod and the way to greater *spirituality?

Then again you make my point, that perspective or 'belief' (if not you?) is an ANACHRONISM. Please don't make me laugh on the way to hell. Then I won't know the difference. Will I?

In "A Republic, Not an Empire" he warned that if we did not begin to bring our troops home and rethink our entire policy in the Arab world, we just might suffer a strike against our homeland. Two years later, in 2001, that happened.

Months before Bush's famous State of the Union address where the war with Iraq became inevitable, Buchanan was warning about us marching to war when most people didn't care to critique the processes of government. He warned of a lot of things about what would happen in Iraq, and a lot of those things came to pass.

And the evidence about why al-Qaeda hates us, much of which came out with the 9/11 report? It has to do with our troop presence on Muslim land and our unyielding support for Israel. Buchanan has been warning this country about maintaining both of those facets for years.

Now he's talking in the same tone as in late 2002, only about Iran instead of Iraq. I think history proves that this guy knows what he's talking about with foreign policy.

In my modest understanding of the word viability and the situation in the Middle East, there is no chance in Hell (under the most optimistic circumstances) to come to a point of creating “a democracy” as long as there are warlords, lucrative heroin trade routes, Islam – all antidotes for democracy. So I looked it up according to Merriam-Webster I did get the right meaning. Here it is just for kicks and giggles:
viable

Main Entry:
vi•a•ble
Pronunciation:
\ˈvī-ə-bəl\
Function:
adjective
Etymology:
French, from Middle French, from vie life, from Latin vita — more at VITAL
Date:
circa 1832
1: capable of living; especially : having attained such form and development as to be normally capable of surviving outside the mother's womb 2: capable of growing or developing 3 a: capable of working, functioning, or developing adequately b: capable of existence and development as an independent unit c (1): having a reasonable chance of succeeding (2): financially sustainable
— vi•a•bil•i•ty \ˌvī-ə-ˈbi-lə-tē\ noun
— vi•a•bly \ˈvī-ə-blē\ adverb

So in closing, short of anything sensible - war it is.
