Some kind of trade advantage

by Ted Rudow III, MA (Tedr77 [at] aol.com)
Nearly every one of America's wars were for some kind of trade advantage or money or for territory.--Which of course were always fought under different excuses, even as far back as the Civil War.

World War I was fought with the Germans. The Germans were smarter, harder working, and producing more. The U.S. just couldn't compete with Japanese products and trading so what do you suppose she did? They had to have a real good excuse to try to convince the people, because before World War II most Americans had been involved in one World War and didn't want to get involved in another one.

So what was the slogan of World War II? "The war to end all wars!"--ETERNAL PEACE!--and they ended it with the Atomic Bomb that wiped out indiscriminately over 100,000 civilian women, children and old people, two bombs in fact, Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and condemned others to a very slow death that took some of them 30 years before they died. Others were horribly maimed and burned and scarred for life!

In fact, there's hardly been a time in the world history when there wasn't a war going on somewhere. That was the U.S. policy in Vietnam too, to literally try to wipe them out. If it hadn't been for world opinion, they would have. So I wonder what their excuse will be for the next war? We know what their reasons are going to be: To save Israel and the oil!
