A mouse trap is designed for one thing. You remember them
right the spring loaded mouse trap, place some bait set and forget.
The idea behind the mouse trap is simple, put some cheese on
there and the mouse will think it is getting something it wants, it will sniff
around until it feels safe, then with a snap of breaking bones, the trap
springs giving you what you want, the mouse gone.
The war on terror could be designed as a mouse trap, the
cheese is our belief of security, the cost the trap, ever notice that a mouse
trap doesn’t really get all them mice, well the terror war is just like that,
if we get one or two then guess what there are more. Since Ben Laden was killed
by Seal Team Six, ( the cost of that operation was really very small) how many
number one terrorist have been identified? Okay then lets play out the War on
Drugs, how many new cartel members have been identified? What about those
trails for those accused of such acts as terror or the cartel members who pay
for the death of others?
So here is the game, the cold war is over, the new wars have
been drugs and terrorist, which is failing to reach an achievable goal of
security, so all over the world the idea is spend more on mouse traps. Let’s
stay away from rights and responsibilities, social implications and just stay
with the cost of these new mouse traps.
The terror war is a war that has no boarders, so rules or
laws of countries are second only to the mouse trap, no matter the country
their laws are not upheld. Torture to get more information no matter how
inhumane is used and even laughed at by political parties, Water Boarding and
the Tea Parties half term governor Sara Palin what a great example of
compassion, who cares if the Geneva Convention doesn’t matter, what is the
gain.
The drug war has boarders which are crossed daily, however
the arms race is clear, does anyone remember the Iran Contra affair, the use of
special contractors not really military yet very much sponsored or so ordered
by the military, to sell what guns, jump forward a few years and the
governments show the expense of such manipulations yet the violence doesn’t
stop, when put to question of the success of the war, even the DEA, said there
was none, of cores the DEA can not even defend the stance of what is a dangerous
drug or why one drug is more horrific than another, but again what is the gain.
Weapons manufactures, special contractors, special prisons,
special rules all under the Secrecy of National Security, the mouse trap. This
is why the cost of such a mouse trap not being discussed. Lobbyists and both
sides of the political parties are and have been enjoying the profit of the
mouse trap.
So what did we learn, if there is a no win situation you
have unlimited budgets, those budgets pay for those toys, those toys just like
a mouse trap are designed to do one thing, take a life.
The trail of a mouse trap, the howitzer shell a 155
millimeter shell filled with explosives, purchased by our government, however
not used, it is replaced, “outdated”. It is sold to one of our allies, who
doesn’t use it, however it is replaced, “outdated” and sold to another
Government, whom is struggling under the pressure of these expenses, loose
track or sales it to someone, or it is stolen ( giving our allies and other
governments the befit of doubt.) it is then wired and set a long the road side,
where by chance kids are playing soccer, thinking they are safe, that their
National Security is safe, until that bone breaking moment.
One heck of a mouse trap, aren’t you glad you have all that
Secrecy and Security.
The beauty of the mouse trap is you will not ask for the
Receipts please for every round, every gun. Well I did at least allow you to
keep your secrecy if there are any NSA members reading or rereading.
No child should Die by a Weapon of War.
