The military is no longer the military. They have been enmeshed with other industries and the CIA. Nor is the responsibilty of the military in its hands solely. Private contractors don't answer to the public. If there were no contractors we would've had a draft for Iraq. The government follows the law only when it's profitable to someone connected to it. Look at how Goldman was held up while Lehman went down in flames. They've nationalized the little guys because the big boys -who control them- told them to do so. They're just warming up. If you thought Jorge Bush was bad, wait until President Hussein enters his lame duck period.

In a way you and Saden are right, but to admit that would mean that the majority of the American public is a bunch of idiotic jerks. I still have hope that isn't the case. The Tea Party movement gives me hope that this isn't the case by a long shot. Partisan hacks may believe that the Tea Party is all about Obama and the fact that Republicans are out of power. The Tea Party is about the fact that neither party represent them. In our eyes, this government is illegitimate through its own illegal actions.
