I couldn't have said it better

Below is a repost of an entry on my blog, returngood.com, which focuses on Christian nonviolence. Feel free to stop in.

Everyone knows that war in general and the Iraq war specifically has meant big money for defense contractors, but a new congressional report puts it in stark relief:

The Monetary-Industrial Complex

So there you have it. When a Republican is president, the Fed eases interest rates in election years by much more than the objective economic circumstances dictate. Conversely, when a Democrat is president, the Fed tightens interest rates in election years by much more than the objective economic circumstances dictate. And for a while, anyway, the economy responds. And so do voters.

Nice little racket, eh?

McCain's foreign policy

This man is simply too dangerous and unstable to be president. People need to wake up and get a look of the preview he's giving us of a McCain presidency.

Russia & Georgia, US & Hamas, Cheney & Musharraf A good, quick, smart read.

Not a fair trade  For what my home state, Wisconsin, has spent on the occupation of Iraq, we could have built more than 2.7 million homes with renewable electricity for one year.

McCain gave a speech on foreign policy and proposed that the United States expel Russia from the G8. McCain also proposed that the United States should expand the G8 by taking in India.

Obviously the legend of Krishna affirms that he was a transcendental cowboy. This might be part of the theories of transcendence by John McCain.

Another of Krishna's names, Govinda, means "one who brings satisfaction to the cows." Other scriptures identify the cow as the "mother" of all civilization. However the Bible says in
Hebrew 9,27: "And it is appointed for men to die once but after this retribution."

Thanks Obama!  

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Barack Obama for finally taking the stage and shutting up CNN's talking heads. That alone makes his speech worthwhile.

As if to add salt to all the worry about a US attack on Iran, today there are stories of war planes.  One of them is ours.  One of them is Israeli.  Several are Russian.

I don’t know what to make of it except to say that it is clear to me that an attack on Iran will not be a simple matter between the US and Iran (the hope being, I assume, that the Iranian government will collapse and the Iranian people will greet us with flowers and candy).  No – it will likely involve the world.  And that scares me.
