Sometimes when I write I think that maybe I am wasting my time. Our modern technological culture has a lot of information delivery systems. Most of us are greatly influenced by these systems and believe these systems are telling us the truth. When some one tries to correct these incorrect messages or speak about how these messages contribute to negative attitude most people will not listen.
These information delivery systems were part of the problem in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. The majority of news media sources spent their time reporting on everything they said was going wrong in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The reality is that military operations in these two countries went as planned by the Bush administration. Things changed when Muslim extremist came in to these countries to fight against Americans.
It took very little time for the liberal news, petty democrats, and petty republicans to turn American society against “the wars”. When I talk to people most of the time all I hear is them repeating what they heard on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, or their local news. This is why I avoid talking to people.
My calculation is that pettiness in American politics is the reasons for failure in Afghanistan and Iraq. These countries social dynamics are just as complicated as the social dynamics of the US. They have corrupt information delivery systems. They have people of varying morality in politics and bureaucracies. They have members of society with varying life philosophies. They even have members of their society who lust after power and blood.
It is hard to have a unified approach with so many individual moving parts. Unity was necessary and is necessary to build a secure world and have secure nations.
However, we as people enjoy pettiness. We will argue for sake of arguing. I understand the need for self defense and personal security. Afghanistan with Al Qaeda and the Taliban is a dangerous threat to individual security and national security. Iraq, with a leader who behind closed gates had produced many WMDs was a great threat to America. Why would Mr. Saddam changed his behavior, morality, and psychology unless he was forced to change?
Therefore, “ the wars” were necessary. The major problem was the lack of maturity in politics and the lack of maturity in citizens.
I know what a liberal thinks and what a liberal will do in life. They are narrow minded and cannot see the big picture behind personal responsibility and self reliance. Society is falling apart because people are failing at being good people.
What I cannot understand is how people who are not liberals acts like liberals. They attack standards, principles, and morality. We have to be more than what the electronic media makes us into.
I am convinced that the animosity people have towards each other is due to “powers and principalities unseen”. These forces are using the media to manipulate us in to being petty and negative.
Yesterday, I was wondering if people understand that when they vote they are voting for someone who is addicted to one or more vices. Government service is where a person can gorge on his or her vices. Therefore, there pathetic policy initiatives of politicians are understandable. Politicians just listen to their corporate masters.
However, are we better then them? Do we have the ability not to be lead around by a Communist media?
When Afghanistan and Iraq fall they will become Islamic states worse than Iran. I understand that corruption in the politicians of this area, Muslim extremist, and an apathetic citizenry contributed to the failure in building stable and secure nations. However, if allowed to fail, these nations unified with Iran will pose a great threat to America.
Now, the human dynamics in America of the “war of opposition democrats“, a liberal biased news media, corporate manipulators, and easily manipulated citizens contribute to a dysfunctional American society. When looking at the dangerous corner Americans have backed them selves into with failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, and US national politics one has to look at all the individual moving parts.
Barak Hussein Obama is a complete and utter empty head. In the real world, there is a need for building relationships. Obama’s behaviors in Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany Mexico, Czech Republic, Poland, and other areas have led to a distrust of America. However, the world is more dangerous. Blaming and hating this president for his ineptness is not going to minimize the threat.
We are going to have to grow up and realize that we influence political direction with our attitude. Our attitude has been carefully crafted by the media.
In America’s social-political dynamics someone is going to have to take control. Going done the current road will lead to disaster.
There are a lot of people saying it is over for the world and America. I say it is over when we decide to give up. I do not have confidence and/or respect for politicians, bureaucrats, media, corporate America, and many citizens.
I do trust myself. I work at been an honest, sincere, rational, and reasoned individual who can review the facts and come to a balanced conclusion. I know that there are many more people out there who are mature and rational.
America’s first real problem is the mismanagement and irresponsible spending by the President and the Congress which has led to a 17 trillion national debt crisis. The second challenge is a president with a sever negative business attitude, which has interfered with economic growth in America.
The lack of attention to the will of the people by Republicans and Democrats is another major challenge in America. The majority of the people in America do not desire nor want illegal immigration reform. In my assessment, the people of Mexico are people with a serious lawless attitude and this attitude is dangerous to American society.
Democrats you do not have control of the nation. Obama was reelected. However, the majority in the House of Representatives is a quasi Republican majority. One could say the House of representatives is closer reflection of American society then the White House or Senate.
America is in trouble. However, politicians and bureaucrats are not the only troublemakers, People in government have the responsibility of maintaining a safe and secure society with basic services. Our lives belong to us and we are the ones who have to provide ourselves with the basics of life regardless of the economic environment.
Muslim extremist are a major threat to America. However, they pose a greater threat to the countries around them. Rich Arab nations and Europe should take the lead in the threats from a failing Afghanistan and Iraq.
America is always getting ridiculed and criticized by the people around the world. I do believe that other nations have to start taking the initiative in dealing with threats to the human race. It is unacceptable for Europe to let Putin murder people in Crimea just so Europe can have fuel for winter. It is also unacceptable for us to allow the individual parts of social dynamics to manipulate us and make us into petty immature people who cannot properly assess societal challenges and construct appropriate strategies.
