We Know How This Will End

What if the citizens of Germany during the 1930s somehow could have known in advance how World War II was going to end. Would they have bought into the lies of Hitler and the Third Reich? Would they have gone along with the wanton aggression knowing it was a suicide mission and would turn their beloved homeland into a pile of rubble and put nearly 9,000,000 of them in early graves?

What about Japan? Before World War II, Japan was securely locked down. No dissent from the imperialistic designs of the emperor and his military class was permitted. Even so, if the vast majority had known that, like Germany, their nation would be almost completely destroyed and they'd lose over 3,000,000 people for nothing, would they have so willingly and enthusiastically rushed to the battlefield to invite annihilation and defeat?

Our leaders -- our cowardly, divisive, destructive, unimaginative, delusional American leaders -- from Barack Obama to John Kerry to Joe Biden to John McCain, are taking America into another war. Sure, the bombing of Syria has been shelved for now. But only for now. Only because we have been humiliated and humbled by such sterling examples of brotherhood and compassion as Vladimir Putin, and reduced to looking like the big, dumb bully on the block not that long ago by no less than Hassan Rouhani, the President of Iran.

But make no mistake about it. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, the Ukraine, and eventually Iran. It's all part of the same flawed over-reaching strategy that predates even Clinton. That pathological plan for achieving unnecessary and ill-conceived hegemony over the Middle East and Eurasia may at times appear to be on hold, but it will not go away, and it won't unless we make it go away.

Delusional. Simply delusional.
