US Unecessary Wars

UNITED STATES UNNECESSARY WARS (Unprovoked, Illegal, Self-destructive) MANUFACTURED BY THE MILITARY-CORPORATE-WHITE HOUSE-CONGRESSIONAL-CORPORATE MEDIA COMPLEX

 For seventy years few US wars have been necessary but have originated from the darkness of official and popular dysfunctions.   Since so many people have been killed as the consequence of these US wars, and since we now possess considerable information about the origins of the wars (take your pick--a half-million Iraqi children during the 1990s embargo?) despite massive secrecy, it is time for our historians to examine the subject comprehensively.    Here is an outline of one possible approach.    Readers:  I will be temporary editor.   Send me author, title, publisher, date of outstanding books.  But we need someone with more time and strength than I have for the job.  One of you would be the editor?     Let’s help the historians.   Let’s be part of the ending of these unnecessary wars by making them known to the US public.   Dick
