Why Violence Is On The Rise ?

"Violence in Afghanistan is on the rise" the same way violence was on the rise against the Romans when they occupied Jerusalem during the time of Christ.

The question of violence in Afghanistan and other areas in the world today occupied by the United States military is understandable and simple. Divide and conquer. Our presence is based on economic factors which the United States will strategically control with force if necessary. The occupied nations hate this. Foreigners speak some other language and bring cruel weapons of destruction changing the face of their land and abusing the feelings of the people. They leave deep wounds and scars unsettling a once open people who were hospitable and causing them to become frightened and closed. But this is the nature of the perverse wealth that stand beneath these actions. Whose economy is this that we secure? If this is the economy of the American people then it is built on a base of blood and the horrors of war. But, I think that this is the economy of only certain people who stand to benefit through investment and financial market exploits. Indeed, the average American wishes no harm to anyone. But, we support these impositions would gladly enslave other nations because we believe that this is necessary for the liberation and freedom of backward people, when in fact we ourselves are frontward in our bondage to self indulgence and beneath them in slavery to our own wicked vices.

The Small People

"The little guy" is an endearing and widely used phrase which we use to denote "the working person". Although I understand what Svanberg meant, what I might accept at a dinner party I would reject as a public statement to the world. I expect a representative of a company worth over a trillion dollars to show diplomacy, excellence and wisdom before speaking from Washington D.C. Americans are no fools and will hold accountable those who exhibit public folly to the utter disgrace of self and company.
