Tapsearch Com EditorWar is a failure of human reason

By Ray Tapajna - search under Tapsearch War for many more articles. Today we also have economic wars triggered by free trade and globalization colonialism.
Everything is seems to be off track with the way the U.S.approaches the use of force. There was a brief period right after World War 2, when many believed there would never be another limited war. The risks were too great. It was considered to be to dangerous with the atom bomb being the trump card.
How the West Lost the World
Patrick J. Buchanan recently wrote a book, which will become a great resource for future generations to study about wars. Buchanan writes about World War 2 and how it could have been avoided. It demonstrates the failure of human reasoning when it comes down to wars as the final solution. The title of the book is Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War. The sub title reads... How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost The World
The U.S. seems to be set on repeating the mistakes of the past. No one seems to know why. The proper reasoning is all in place with books like Buchanan demonstrates and yet our leaders ignore both logic and history. We now have unjust wars, undeclared wars, preemptive wars, secret armies, mercenaries, hidden contract armies, CIA armies, guerrilla warfare and bloody urban warfare where thousands of innocent people are killed with very few cautions in place. President Clinton bombed aspirin factories and consistently bombed Iraq. He went into the Balkans to stop ethnic cleansing by creating more. 750,000 Serbs and Gypsies fled for their lives. The U.S. bombed them on the way and also when they fled to Belgrade and Kosovo. The Chinese embassy in Belgrade was even bombed.
President Bush followed President Clinton with his shock and awe preemptive wars stirring up conflict instead of stopping it. One of the most unusual things I noticed was Bush's use of the National Guard. It now seems to me a mute issue after so many other actions became worst but
the use of the National Guard as a direct assault force is supposed to be a last alternative measure and not the first attack mode. Using the National
Guard in his first strikes never happen before like they did under President Bush. First of all, the mindset of the National Guard is set to defend our nation in local environments and not in offense in some far away place. The National Guard needed months of training to offset this dramatic change but never got it. Instead they were thrown into battle ill-prepared. It is now obvious many never were able to transform their skills and mental mindset to die in some far away place overseas.
On the other side of things, we has a more radical setting where people are willing to become human bombs. With this in place there is hardly anyway to control events. It creates a new barbarianism on both sides of a conflict. And when a nation coins a term like "Terrorism" to fight the mission and targets change from real objectives to illogical enemies that really do not exist.
Also history vividly demonstrates that the Middle East remains much of the same as it always was throughout history. It has its own order of things and no forced feeding of Western Democracy will work. The Middle East nations return to their own order of things no matter who comes and goes. History tells us by going into the Middle East with armies always create a never ending war. The failures of the Crusades confirm this. It is beyond me how our nation has put up with this mass killing of innocent people in recent wars. I never saw a bomber or a drone fly over our country to trigger something like this but we do it all the time in other lands. The killing fields are somewhere else in the world with 9/11 being the only exception. And if should be noted several of the 9/11 attackers were called " Islamic Freedom Fighters" when President Clinton invited them to fight in Bosnia.
In the name of equality, we now have women in the military with many now evolving into combat soldiers. If this keeps evolving the way it is now, American will see their daughters and granddaughters drafted. When a society has their women killing people in offensive wars, this signals the end of society. It was the mother and wife who told the husband soldier - "that's enough," it's time to come home.
Who can untangle the terror, free trade colonialism and globalization have bred ? View my artwork and tell me.
