Sir;...If you are suggesting that madness is behind our foreign policy; I would have to agree...The madness behind that madness is the failed ideology of capitalism.... The madness behind that madness is Protestant Christianity which has justified every injustice pain, and exploitation as pre-ordained.... No one has justified capitalism so much as they, and no one has stood by and watched crime and misery follow in the wake of capital with such piety.... The ideology makes the policies, and the policy justifies all that follows... People do not think... They let their ideologies think for them...They cannot act pragmatically, but act automatically.... They cannot think critically... They cannot think rationally, -weighing drawbacks and dangers against advantages... The rationalism which once characterized protestantism when they were building factories which had to work, has left them when they are building political alliances, or economies that do not have to work...Look at the world, or our country as a system where what is produced must be bought; where economies must support entire populations...Can we do that and continue to give 90% of our produce to ten percent of the population??? And can we dare do this when that wealth gives them absolute power over our foreign and domestic affairs???We want Lithuania, and every othe part of the world as a market... So do they, and we must understand how military threats are taken by those people...What do those markets do for us??? What will war do for us... So far; the rich can get the poor to pay for wars from which the rich alone benefit, but we are reaching a point where poverty is seen to be the final product of capitalism, for people, and for governments alike...I assure you, that many people here in the wasteland are looking at the rich, and the government, and asking why we are putting up with this nonsense.... A lesson is being learned by those people who cannot afford to live by principals and ideologies, but must act rationally, even if that means disposing of ideologies that no longer work -no matter how well advertized... We are learning that when our economy cannot be made to work, that the rich inevitably drag us into wars which we are expected to blindly support... We are learning that we are ruled by a government which absolutly refuses on point of principal to govern the economy.... We are finding that the govenment has money by the truck load for the wealthy when it is forever showing empty pockets to the poor, and to the tax payers...We cannot get good out of government...One of these days the government will try to lead us into war, and look back into the barrels of many guns..I have been there, and it is not funny....It is the government we should war upon... It is the rich we should war upon... If we want world peace we should support world democracy beginning with this land... Until we have it here we will always be led, and mis-led by failed ideologies...Thanks...Sweeney
