"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."

Build More Bombs! Build More Bombs!

Thursday, 06 April 2006

Here's an excerpt from a recent news story:

   The Bush administration on Wednesday unveiled a blueprint for rebuilding the United States' decrepit nuclear weapons complex, including restoration of a large-scale bomb manufacturing capacity.

    The plan calls for the most sweeping realignment and modernization of the nation's massive system of laboratories and factories for nuclear bombs since the end of the Cold War.

    Until now, the nation has depended on carefully maintaining aging bombs produced during the Cold War arms race, some several decades old. The administration, however, wants the capability to turn out 125 new nuclear bombs per year by 2022, as the Pentagon retires older bombs that it claims will no longer be reliable or safe.

Ahhh, man. Just when you thought it was safe to call him crazy, he's gone and done it again! M'kay, we're about to bomb Iran for this? Who's gonna bomb US to stop this insanity? Oh, wait, that would be insane too. Damn, you just can't win with this kind of logic!

Actually, I think its all about money and intimidation. Money for the arms industry and intimidation to anyone who would oppose us. Or they're just looney. My money's on looney.
