Not people vs. each other or people vs. "gubment."
It's the people vs. Congress. The two top headlines at Memeorandum at this moment are:
Congressmen Call For U.S. Military Response To Alleged Chemical Weapons Use In Syria
Who is likely to win this round? Who else but Congress?
It doesn't cost them a thing to go to war. In fact, members of Congress will tend to be rewarded with additional campaign funds from those who invest in war -- the defense industry and its shareholders.
Who is likely to lose this round? The rest of us, our kids and grandchildren, many of whom will lose their lives.
What do we gain? Security? You think? You really think?
