Stepping back.....

Too frequently conflict with others or within ourselves comes from being too close, too involved, in a situation or event. 'Stepping back' from the situation can often reveal aspects not otherwise considered or seen.

...and the budget for Peace includes 15 billio...

Yahoo News, Feb 03, 2006:

Re the new military budget:

"Echoing characterizations by Defense Secretary Donald H.
Rumsfeld, the plan calls China the greatest future threat,
saying that country has "the greatest potential to
compete militarily with the United States."

Future threat!
At what age does Donald stop seeing monsters under his
bed and in his closet? At what point do the children
in charge of our country talk about peace? When? Is
peace not in the budget or the agenda?

Will China be our next war, after Iran? Are we lining
them up, or what?
Let's just say it now, to every country, "FUCK YOU!," and
let the next 15 administrations deal with the
consequences! Let's just continue to BULLY our way
through the next 3 years.

Isn't increasing the budget for the military the same as
admitting that we can't handle what's on our plate now
with what we've got? And who doled out the portions that
are on that plate?

and:
"The figures did not include about $50 billion that Bush
administration officials said Thursday they would request
as a down payment for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
in 2007. The administration said war costs for 2006 would
total $120 billion."

Wait a minute! Was I just hearing things when Bush said,
way back there, that the oil in Iraq would pay for the
war? And whatever happened to the slight disagreement
over who would get how much of Iraq's oil at the
onset of this war? Did Russia get what they wanted?
Did France? Did Spain? Did the US?
