ConnecticutBob.Com is a small corner of the interweb since April 2006 where Progressive ideas are nurtured, all politically-minded and reasonable people are welcome, and the countdown to Joe Lieberman's retirement continues.

Here we go again
Can we please just get through one goddamned decade without a war happening? I'm really getting sick of this shit.
I don't share your optimism, Bob. Since we became bogged down in IragAfPak, we are no longer the first class world power that took on the first Korean War. All diplomacy requires muscle. I don't think we have enough left to deter North Korean aggression.
Don't kid yourself by thinking the coming war will be justified for any noble reason or even by simple necessity.
The reality is, the profits are sagging from the military-industrial complex, and if there ain't a new war soon, their corporate masters will be vewwy vewwy pissed off!!!
Why do you think every post WWII war HASN'T involved nuclear weapons? Because they're BAD for business! Maaaaaaaan!
