1) Money does not buy peace
2) Occupation always loses
-Current Example /Case Study-
Background: Last month (MARCH): we launched the biggest offensive operation/invasion in Marja, Afghanistan. We also began paying locals in an effort to buy their loyalty/pay for damages caused by our invasion.
"This is the most successful operation in Afghanistan to date, in driving out the Taliban and winning the hearts and minds of the people... The Taliban has been driven out by our focused, surgically precise invasion"
- April 4th 2010 from Marja as reported by US Military on the ground -
"The Taliban have reseized control and momentum in a lot of ways"
-Major James Coffman, third battallion 6th Marines

Great blog Maurizio. "They" - the corporate/miliatry/industrial complex of greed and violence - have learned. Learned very well. They know that something like this has never be sustained but that does not matter. It can be sustained for ALAP (as long as possible) and during that time the money rolls into the pockets of those who profit from war. Not the countries - theirs or ours but those who manipulate people and events mercilessly to gain wealth and power. What the people need to learn is to believe in themselves and to have to inner and outer strength to rise up and resist tyranny - tyranny not anywhere else but right here at home, in the "good old" USA.
Well said Tarak! I could have not said it better.
