When shall it become inappropriate to kill suspected terrorists and suspected terrorist sympathizers in Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, nor their women and children collaterally?  Can it be that top insider McCain, like most Americans, does not know that 9/11 was a blowback from Carter, Reagan and Bush I having funded ten thousand extreme Wahabbi fundamentalist schools into Afghanistan and arming and training fundamentalists to war against the Soviets, who were desperately unsuccessful in protecting a socialist government in Kabul?  Does McCain not remember that the 9/11 suiciding air pirates were Saudis, not Afghans or Iraqis or Somalis or Iranians?  Honestly, how many more millions dead in the Middle East will it take to secure petroleum arrangements favorable enough for U.S. corporate interests?

Could John McCain, with an approximate 50/50 chance of becoming president, ever choose to take all the facts of history into ethical account and amend his present distorted descriptions of reality, which conflict with the content of encyclopedias and documents published by the Pentagon.

Not likely.

From the sound of McCain’s militant blustering, McCain would more likely look forward to lengthening the long list of post-World War II presidents, starting with Truman, who America’s most internationally respected intellectual has said would have been hanged if the law used during the trial of Nazi war criminals at Nuremburg were to have been applied to them.


The real important question is:

Will corporate media, now more than ever in lock step with the military industrial complex heading up the corporate governance of America, with corporate executives serving on many boards at once in tight knit overlap and moving through revolving doors in and out of government positions, allow and permit without sabotage, the election of a U.S. president, who not only acknowledges the criminalities and crimes against humanity of past presidents and their secret CIA, but wishes to make the American citizenry aware of the past, unafraid, and confident about planning a fresh beginning for the most powerful nation in the history of the world?
