Lets Invade Everywhere!

[first published: August 5, 2008]

One sees far too much media directed at the issue of Darfur, lately also, at Iran. I am also seeing, way too many "liberals" urging for nothing less than military intervention! What has gotten into them?

Asking the U.S. to invade Darfur (or Iran) is sanctioning warfare as an effective solution.

Haven’t we witnessed the results of this “solution” enough with the Iraq war? Can anyone call this “practical”?

But ok, why not? Lets imagine using Military invasions as solutions to problems - only OUR problems - the ones in our own country for a change.

Lets invade the White House to stop the Bush administration from depleting our treasury and killing our soldiers in the unending Iraq war. Bush and his cabinet could be detained on Guantanamo. This would be of incalculable benefit to our country. Good idea!

Lets invade the offices of the National Rifle Association, whose persistent and well-funded advocacy for gun owners guarantees the prevalence of handguns on our city’s streets and in America’s houses. Imagine how we could reduce the death toll for teenagers with gun control being enforced by the Military. Good idea!

Lets invade the offices of California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who is currently balancing his State’s budget by stripping billions of dollars from public education, while at the same time building more and more prisons. This would end the financial stripping of California’s schools and be a huge benefit to millions of children. Good idea!

Lets invade the offices of the corporate-controlled, right-wing media who spread lies, half-truths and racism across our nation on a daily basis. Imagine, we could actually get the truth in our news. Good idea!

I am starting to see the value of military invasion in solving our nations problems, now we just have to convince Congress.
