Why did the US realy go to War?

---Why was there really a war?The 911 links to Iraq were a myth. The WMD were a myth. The charges about uranium were out right lies. Spreading democracy is a joke, as it is we don't even have fair elections here and there is no way it will happen in Iraq. So why the hell did we go there?

Operation Iraqi Liberation, spelled OIL, is one popular reason, but this is not the main reason. Corporate profiteering is at an all time high, and there is no corporation as large as the military industrial complex. Even the bloated pentagon budget and pork projects for lobbyist PACs and cabinet members are not the main reason for the war. All these things were extra incentives for the crooks that run our government but not the main reason for the war.

The stock market allows for a whole new loophole, a whole new concrete method for the ties between big business and government. All a politician has to do is pass legislation favorable to the companies s/he has stock in or works for to gain huge profits. This has made our government up for rent. Any war would work for this end, even a cold war. So why Iraq?

The United States’ unconditional support of Israel is one of the main reasons for the attacks on 9/11. If you want to win a war on drugs then you have got to go after the causes of drug use, not just the users. If you don't want your nation attacked then start by stopping your attacks on other nations.

If you really want to stop terrorism then why don’t we stop financing the Zionist bigots in Israel who are using US weapons, ironically named after American Indians, to do to a people exactly what the US did to the Indians, which was the greatest crime in all of history (tomohawks, Blackhawk, apache helicopters. Here in the US we don’t study history we rationalize it, or sometimes we just lie about it.

Israel receives around ten million dollars a day from the United States. Most people do not know this and if they did, considering the current state of the economy and the unethical uses of the money, I am sure they would not want it sent there.

So what are the real reasons for this war, and the sending of this money? Answering this question is easy, all one has to do is look at who will profit the most. Currently the bulk (75%) of the money sent to Israel must be spent on US weapons. The US arms industry is using the on going conflict to make more money.

The weapons industry is a business and like any other giant US corporation they are corrupt and care nothing about human rights or public welfare, they only care about profits. This is not simply a problem with accounting or confused CEOs. This is a problem with purposefully immoral people who have realized that the American judicial system often places money over ethics. We are all suffering from the greed of upper class America. No industry is as dangerous as the weapons industry, because they are in the business of killing. A protracted war benefits arms and energy companies.

The anti-occupation forces in Iraq will never stop and why should they? This war is not winnable short of genocide. There is no legitimate reason for the US to be occupying another country. People should be in jail for the lies or incorrect information, which has lead to the death of 100,000 Iraqi civilians and billions of dollars and over 1,430 American lives.

Our fat cats get fatter and the religious flocks and blind patriots continue to support them because the only information they can get on the war is from our Zionist-owned media. Large corporations who do not give a damn about humanity or freedom run our country.

There have always been people for and against war throughout history. A deeper question might be how do we ever convince thousands of absolute strangers to go kill each other? It is one thing to be attacked like Crazy Horse was attacked by Custer and he defeated him. What about the people who are attacking, why did they risk their lives and for what?


It’s a combination of greed and manipulation. Then there is that ever present need for vicarious masculinity, which the chicken hawk feed on daily. The State becomes an extension of their ego. The war party takes glee in saying they will kick our enemies’ asses. “Ah we should just ‘nuke them, or make a nice lake". I have actually heard these phrases spoken by grown adults. Not stupid people either. I mean business men who just get frustrated and want that oh so quick and satisfying answer of blowing the hell out of people, you know, showing them who is boss. I blame that on authoritarianism but also, we need to separate intelligence from compassion. A person can be smart but have the moral compass of a nazi. The insecurities manifested in numerous ways have gotten many people; both smart and dumb, to have a greater need for an ego boost than for a caring relationship for humanity and the planet. Caring is considered 'weak.'

Western science and religions have both made a clean break with and a war on relationships with nature. The endless pursuit of shiny things, i.e. status through ownership, has lead to a nation of islands. No one see that personal comforts and private interests cannot be a blindfold to our relationship to world events and changes in our environment. But the head in the sand apathy is allowing a minority of evil people, evolutionarily parasites, to gather the sheep for battle, as they get off on their wargasm.


People don't think of what is just and then act. They act and then think of how to justify it. Greed and envy will rationalize everything. Another part of the puzzle is that war has become distant. Technology allows the horror of war to be separated by machines from the individual. It's easier to drop a bomb than to run in and get blood on your hands. It’s becoming game like.

On the bright side, man has evolved in some areas. Northern Europe, for example and many of the island nations are not going to war on their own without US manipulation. As long as we have a culture that bases its human worth on occupational income and property, we are going to hell. Yes, property has become a method of gaining status with others and with one's self. What we need is a value system that places prestige in compassion, intelligence, creativity, and actual aspects of character rather than on material gain and ability to take from others.
