Mulling over LEE LOFASO to STEVE ASHER 22 Sep 2003

Hi Lee!

>SA>framing others for them. The US / CIA will set up proxy forces,
>SA>sometimes funded from the proceeds of criminal activity, such
>SA>as the Contras in Nicaragua, & use them to commit unspeakable
>SA>acts upon the civilian population. They "use terror to traumatize
>SA>society so that it cannot function".

>LL>America is making the world safe for democracy.

SA>America is making the world "safe" for its corporations.

 LL> And MNC's (Multi-National Corporations), most of which are
 LL> owned/run by American corporations.

Yes, them too.

>LL>If America really wanted to invade Cuba, it could. And such an
>LL>invasion would not take long. Probably two days. Three days,
>LL>tops.

SA>I suspect the USA is content now to let nature take its course;
SA>Fidel will die of old age, & not CIA dirty tricks, & there will
SA>be a succession struggle which will probably embrace US "values".

 LL> Nah.  Fidel's brother, Raoul, will be happy to take his place. 

Ahh, perhaps the USA will invade Cuba, denounce Castro as an evil 
doer, issue a few packs of cards with the "most wanted", & invite
Raoul & a few other cronies to work in building a "democratic"
Cuba. It isn't working too well in Iraq. but it is worth persisting
with.

>LL>America has never lost a war.  Not even the Vietnam War.

SA>The Vietnamese appear to disagree, and as victors, they refer
SA>to it as the American War, and exhibit the apparatus that endeared
SA>the USA & its proxies to the population, like the mobile guillotines
SA>that were trundled around to assist with "pacifying" the locals.

 LL> No matter how long an invading army stays in a country, the people
 LL> of that country will always be there.  Even long after the invading
 LL> army has left.  That is what happened in Vietnam, and that is what
 LL> is happening in Iraq.

SA>Speaking of wars that America has never lost, how's the "War on
Drugs"
SA>going? And the "War on Terror"? It seems to me that opium production
SA>has hit top form in Afghanistan following the [partial] removal of
SA>the Taliban and the resurgence of the warlords.

 LL> Both the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terror"
are phony wars.
 LL> Even Ted Kennedy admitted that the war on Iraq (as part of the War
 LL> on Terror) was a fraudulent war.

Killing your unwanted assets beats paying them pensions.

Cheers, Steve..
