How Come Our Fourth War Isn"t More Popular?

Have you ever heard the old adage, If you can't say something nice about somebody, don't say anything at all? Well I've decided to follow that good advice and not mention the Supreme Court today.So, instead let me talk about war. Have you ever noticed how politicians relate to wars and the rumors of wars? When they talk about war, they tell you how terrible war is. How costly it is and how terrible the cost in human lives it is. But if you look at their actions and their votes, you begin to see a different picture. It's a picture that suggests that many of them are secretly infatuated with the thought of going to war. It's easy for them to feel that way because they know it won't be them doing the fighting. Of course there are some who have actually been in the trenches like John McCain, but those are in the minority.  Anyway, their actions show them to be somewhat bloodthirsty. At least that's true unless they get a sense that Corporate America is against it. See, the American people are mostly against war, but let's face it, Corporate America makes substantial profits off war. So it's rare to see companies that make a profit on something actually be against it at the same time. And as you know, whatever's good for corporations is good for America, right? You could say that our slogan is Fight Baby Fight.  All of which begins to explain why congress is not all that much in favor of our involvement in Libya. See we're fighting there, but we aren't using any ground troops. So while Corporate America may be in favor and the American people may not be so much against it, there's no American blood. Where's the glory for our politicians? There's no votes available in this. No campaign points. It's somewhat of a waste from the politicians point of view.
