An Arms Race

Yesterday, Sec. Gates said in a news conference that if Iran was allowed to get nukes it would start an arms race in the region. I listened and I listened and I thought what a complete idiotic statement. Why?

By all accounts, whether accurate or the normal Washington lies, Iran is supplying arms to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and others. To counter that the US is selling weapon systems to Saudi, Jordan, Egypt and others. Thinking........thinking.........But that is not an arms race? What constitutes an arms race?

From a purely capitalist perspective, why would all that be bad? I mean some of the US biggest corporations are dealing in death, so why would they NOT want an arms race--profits would climb and after all, that is the point of an arms race--more PROFIT.

American people listen to this sh*t and say that we cannot allow a new Middle East arms race--WAKE IT UP! It has been going on since we invaded and occupied Iraq. Russia is getting involved, China will get involved, hell they may already be involved--and if so, where is this NOT an arms race?

I realize that most Americans could care less; they are more worried about which gas guzzling SUV to but next time, but I suggest that they wake up and they may not lose anyone in their family to the rages of war. Because of their non-caring attitude, the US is closer to an all out war than anytime since WWII.

Never mind--when you teach a pig to dance, you waste your time and piss off the pig!
