Why We Fight

"It is nowhere written that the American empire goes on forever."

This reminded me of the series of frontline shows on the Iraqi war. Why We Fight was very good, infuriating, and perhaps well-timed on "scooter libby day". It refers often to the "military industrial complex" first mentioned by Eisenhower, and shows how our economy is fueled by our need to produce the elements of war. I left convinved that war was inevitable, and necessary based not for "truth or freeedom" or all they say, but for supporting our economy. Again showing how we are all connected in this world, and things are never simple or black and white.
