The Cold War and the arms race that fueled the R&D and weapons economy. That was something completely new and different to his experience even though the U.S was a fledling imperial power during his rise through the military and into politics. Gunboat diplomacy and all.supersolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333453162319754933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065791.post-1069484484443242262007-03-20T17:14:00.000-06:002007-03-20T17:14:00.000-06:00MIC...Military Industrial ComplexHi Leezy :o) I'm ...MIC...Military Industrial Complex<BR/><BR/>Hi Leezy :o) I'm okaysupersolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333453162319754933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065791.post-863516823541248862007-03-20T12:02:00.000-06:002007-03-20T12:02:00.000-06:00Hi Super!!

They're useless as far as activism goes, as the majority of the "left" leaning one's narrow thier message and focus more and more on electing more democrats in a vain and idiotic attempt to force change, as if democrats represent anything other than the MIC and the corporations that lobby and feed them. It's uterly useless.supersolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333453162319754933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065791.post-81281132646111392602007-03-18T13:11:00.000-06:002007-03-18T13:11:00.000-06:00I just want to re-iterate that these folks need lo...I just want to re-iterate that these folks need lots of help.
