Forever Supporting Lesser Evils!
As nothing this side of the Pearly Gates even approaches perfection, we are often pushed into accepting the lesser of evils! This has proven true in politics, legal dealings, and even in everyday life!!
On the foreign front, we have been forced by kismet (fate) to select as allies (at times) nations whom we would not normally even wipe our feet upon. This includes bastions like Cuba (Castro over Bautista), South Vietnam over their antagonists to the north (the same held true in Korea), Iraq over Iran (not much choice there), and let us never forget the current push for potential military actions in the rest of the Middle East, even as we speak!?
So who in the Hell benefits from this ever-changing game of musical bombs? And after all is said and done, have we been better off after the ground is soaked with blood, gallons of it stamped - ?Manufactured in America??
It appears to me (opinion) that the only real victors these days are those whom we declare war against and the giant political and financial interests who gladly exchange blood for gain and fame? In this respect, there never seems to be a clearly defined right and wrong any more, only a choice between the lesser of evils. And unfortunately, this sad scenario has been known to extend totally across the face of society, from politics to big business, from the law to the bordello, from the illegal to the legally illegal!!
