War really the kind of war we are being told about?

[samiaseo222]

As our nation and the world forges blindly ahead towards a possible world war, do we have any idea where we are going, or more importantly why? The talking heads on TV tell us this is a war on terrorism, that it will be an entirely different kind of war than we have ever fought before. We are being told to prepare for a very long war, a “100-year-war,” that we have the resolve to fight this war until the enemies in this war have been defeated.

But, is this After all, many of our new Afghani “enemies” received V training from our own clandestine agencies. They used to be our friends and allies. Ironically, as we pursue these former allies-turned-terrorist, several of the nations which are now part of the coalition forming to help us fight this war on terrorism, recently were, or still are, branded by us as terrorist states. Enemies are hard to define anymore. Coincidence?

Take China for example. They were our enemy in Korea and Vietnam. They are one of the few remaining avowed communist regimes. They continue to threaten our ally, Taiwan. They have stolen and were given our missile technology -- which they are now selling to third world countries, including our “enemies.” How were such acts punished by our government? The Panama Canal was handed over to them. They bought our Navy base in Long Beach, California, as we downsized our military and now ship boatloads of made-in-China goodies for the American market. Our enemy, or our friend?
