It feels like the most dangerous crisis of my lifetime.
We are fighting a trillion-dollar Long War in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and a dozen other secret battlegrounds, including Saudi Arabia. Our government claims we’re fighting terrorism, but the wars are breeding more terrorists. Our most questionable allies in the war on terrorism – Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, etc – are going down or faltering fast. Now we lurch into intervention in we teeter on the edge of invading Libya, and we back the theocratic Saudi dictators as they invade Bahrain with our Apache helicopters.
The underlying deal is that we buy their oil, they spend the money on our weapons, we look the other way, and the lobbyists get rich. All that real-politick is as solid as the sand.
