going from war to broke in a split second from killing Syrians to cutting health reform at last, people power vs. criminal psychopaths?

.. Newton said it first: ...

  .. No change without force ...

    .. So why was the attack stopped?

Thesis/Subtitle: most politicians are petty traitor-tyrants ...

Concomitant: going only where the $-winds blow them ...

Corollary: except if the electorate threatens revolt ...

Is Peace Breaking Out?
War averted in Syria - can Iran escape the War Party’s wrath?
by Justin Raimondo, September 20, 2013
  «In short, it doesn’t matter what the intelligence is because it can always be massaged to come out how the politicians want it. With a powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington, and fiercely loyal factions influential on both sides of the aisle, the War Party has always been able to impose its own version of reality on the national and diplomatic discourse.»

Comment 1: Good article plus some good comments; as usual, reading it all is recommended.

General comments:

Newton's first law says -

 no change without applied force.

The corrupt M/I/C/$4a†-plex factions rule.

The US is a command economy on the mafia model.

Empire is power; armed-force purchased with printed $s.

The politicians are corrupt whores, doing the dirty for dollars.

Add the I/J/Z-plex as a poison-arrow piercing the Arab/Muslim breast, murdering for spoil = soil, as the US murders for oil.

Under the above scenario, no extraneous ideology needed; looks to me like a democratic triumph; the electorate may have finally woken up. It beggars belief that the representatives would react to anything other than some 'superior shove.' Given the ghastly, salivating Kerry-led rush, none of the politicians' usual puppet-masters in the M/I/C/$4a†-plex, let alone the I/J/Z-plex would attempt to leash the dogs of war; look elsewhere.

The single thing that will shift corrupt politicians faster than $s is a credible threat to their re-election prospects. The electorate's roar of "No attack - or else!" must have been *very* convincing; same as in UK.

Some proof might come from the next story coming active, the deficit shenanigans. First item I heard was that funding for Obama's 'health reform' could be cut. Well, that threat, along with ~47mio US citizens already on food-stamps, might rev the electorate up a bit more.

Imagine - usually sham-democracy reacting to the people's views!

Bad news for petty traitor-tyrants ... *very* bad news.

Even worse news for the rhyming criminal group.
