Middle Eastern tyrants and looting and war is well-established. The fastest way to make a fortune is through war, it is all blood money of a sort. Destroy people by bombs or robbing the treasuries and run away with the resources. Except the Bush regime stole faster than any other in history and bankrupted the world. Not only did they steal money. oil and lives but the future lives of millions here and in Middle East.

I watched the evil unfold, all cheered by the entertainment industry to the news and thought, they are showing us what monsters we can be, taking us to the pit. They are destroying America's best ideals, making a mockery of everything to bring their dystopia for us and utopia for the super rich. They are doing it before our eyes, asking us to accept it.

I asked, is mankind learning at last to put this behind us? Will we have to be utterly destroyed to learn?
