Since the collapse of Soviet Union in 1991, absence of a real threat has been the greatest fear of every U.S. government administration. The first Bush regime desperately looked for a new enemy first portrayed in Manuel Noriega, the Panamanian tyrant formerly on CIA payroll, and then once ally Saddam Hussein as threats to world peace. Today with the American warships positioned in the Persian Gulf its Iran's Ahmadinejad and the no-good mullahs. Meanwhile, an endless "war on terror" continues against unnamed "terrorists" in Iraq and Afghanistan.
With an immense military budget exceeding $600 billion, war appears to be the best business for the big corporations and the thousands of private defense contractors, but bad for a public that must bear those hefty costs yet remained convinced and compliant through the best methods of mind control money can buy.
