Religiosity Vs. Piety

A Shiraz February 1, 2005

snake,

What supports the military-industrial complex?

Those of us who are in America, regardless of our politics, ultimately materially support any and all excursions the American military is tasked with.

Providing support here is not of the `moral` kind. The fact is, being a part of the system makes you involved. Not easy to reconcile, but it`s simply how it is.

Muslims, on the other hand, have no such organization and thus those who fight the war typically are materially supported by only those who ideologically support them.

However this works both ways. If the other, saner, side can get it`s act together, then they win the big prize and the military will be rightly muzzled, despite the lunacy of those who would rather have them stay on the march.
