Wars have two sides. There was never wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. We invaded and occupied or tried to occupy. Our goals were never agreed on...by our leaders or the public. In each case, resource appropriation seemed to be the real goal. Military forces used to clear a path for global giant enterprises to harvest the minerals and other resources denied by nativists and nationalists.

Those who paid the price will see none of the profits. They will share the long term pain, suffering and sorrow of the occupied. They will most likely recover before we do because our government and leaders will continue to deny reality. Until they do, healing and recovery will not take place.

The pentagon generals and war mongering corporate America will never let that milk cow run dry. War is blood money in their pockets, their pensions and greed is in their blood. They couldn't care less if America wins or loses, they just want the security in the banks! And Congress makes sure that is a continuing thing.
