At the end of the day we all know that money and power secure the safety of our own lifestyle. That's really what we ALL care about now isn't it?
There's no disputing this, or the fact that while we may feel a slight bit of empathy for the little brown people we are murdering in foreign lands we still maintain the philosphy of: Better them than me.
Rightfully so.
It's all just evolution in action. Survival of the fittest.

First off, burn in hell. Anyone who would take a poor man's last dime to add to his already fat stack deserves no dimes. You may or may not one day grow wise enough to realize that your soul is worth something. It's enough to have enough, you don't have to have it all, and generally schemes you develop to get it all leave you with nothing in the end.
Much like Bush and Iraq. Halliburton is getting rich in the short term, but we the American public are paying billions for the military action, losing a lot of good productive young men, and we're creating an enemy that will hate us and plague us for 10 generations or more.
Why don't you tell me how killing these little brown people is adding to anyone's money and comfort except the oil industry?
