would love to know who made this comment found on another site. thought its quite clear about where we've come to;


The whole foreign policy narrative has changed since at least 9-11.
Currently there are no “battlefields”. There are “areas of operation”.
No more soldiers…they are “operators”. Enemy combatants are “terrorists” and “those who support terror”.
A hospital is a “legitimate target”.
Terrorists are native people who object to being robbed of resources and evicted from their homes by the usual suspects. Another enemy is a state leader who does not go along with empire’s plan for global dominance.
Not having a central bank is a “crime against humanity”.
Not using the petro-dollar is an “act of war”.
The military is there to protect the system…err…I mean “our freedoms”.
