Do you think that wars and interventions are effective means of gaining the economic benefits which are the primary motivation for these events?
Before you can answer that, you must drag most Americans, kicking and screaming, to look at the simple question --CUI BONO ? -- "Who Benefits," in plain dollars and cents ! As (a less important) addendum, one might add, "who thought they were going to benefit, but turned out to be mistaken ?"
Until an American looks clearly at the answer to this question, all his thoughts and words on the subject are worthless.
Numan you raise some brilliant points
But before we delve into the mysteries of the american political system.... I was hoping that we could discuss the more general point that Zeke was making... IE that all wars are motivated by economics, and that they are an effective way to achieve those goals.
Once we have discussed the more general case, then we can move on to specifics of the american global hegemony. I hope that is ok with you?
Thx Ardy
