During the second world war, boys too young for military service and men too old, defended the west coast with family guns and dynamite. Fortunately the incinary devices sent from Japan were ineffective, and I heard of only one Japanese submarine being trapped in a bay while citizens watched with their family guns for several days before the airforce arrived.
Whatever, the Pentagone has decided to close an ariforce base in Oregon and I think the concern about this could be justified.
Our headline says "180 sites on Pentagon hit list". 33 major bases will be closed and changes will be made in the rest to reduce defense budget spending. But while we are cutting back on home land defense spending, we are increasing the millions of dollars spent in Iraq, on a war that demostrated to the whole world we will make a first strike if we so chose and even if the United Nations is opposed to us doing so. That pretty much makes us the most threatening rogue nation on earth, and some how this will make us safer? <_<
Perhaps instead of living out our karma, we should create an alternative one? Hum, how did this become the karma of our democracy anyway?
