The Undemocracy of the Pentagon

The Undemocracy of the Pentagon

Is it any surprise that an organization armed with money, guns, missiles, ships, bombs and self-righteousness, would invade a defenseless country and bring chaos, murder and mayhem. Is it any surprise that world leaders would lie about the reasons, lie about the expenses and trick a majority of the world population into compliance and acceptance. Is it really surprising that once the invasion completes that the soldiers behave like judge, jury and executioner, haplessly murdering criminals in the streets, in their homes and with out regard for innocent bystanders. Are we surprised that Iraq is looking more and more like Palestine? Are we the people who fund and allow this atrocity of justice to occur in our name?

The Pentagon acts as if they are above the laws of this country, above the laws of the UN, above the laws of the international community. Above the Constitution of the United States, and moreover above the principals which creates our country.

It is preposterous to watch the news and accept the behavior of US soldiers in Iraq as they hand out their brand of justice by bullet while the citizenry and media sits idle and allows it to happen. We did not bring democracy to Iraq - we bring murder and mayhem.
