Where strong standing armies exist, freedom withers. The founders knew this and spoke vehemently against the very thought of a standing army. They all love foreign entanglements, they all love the drug war, they all cry out for more cops and less freedom. Judge your friends carefully and call them friends when they stand up freedom. When they do not, they are most certainly your enemies.
Freedom is a fragile flower, and it is wilting in the heat of the hot rhetoric of the war hawks.
There are no smart bombs. And there are very damn few just wars. I fought in Rhodesia for a cause that mattered. And watched Comrade Jimmy Carter team up with those lap dogs in Britain and his natural allies in the USSR and Red China to support communist terrorists. Cheaper than hiring security guards I suppose.
