The people who won the US election a couple weeks ago believe firmly that military efforts abroad are futile, doomed to failure, and colossal wastes of money.

Obama’s talk about shifting our military effort from Iraq to Afghanistan was a false promise. Now that he has been elected, he intends only to withdraw our military forces from both places without causing immediate fiascos.

And then he will begin to withdraw money gradually from the USA’s military budgets into its civilian budgets.

The War on Terror is over. We are removing all secret military controls and returning to public civilian control of all decisions.

All captives now being detained by the US military soon will be transfered to civilian courts, which will release all who cannot be convicted in accordance with civilian law.

All blocks on terrorist-related bank accounts and transactions will be removed unless the blocks can be maintained by civilian courts deciding on the basis of publicly provided and disputed information.

We no longer will pressure or bribe any foreign governments to fight for us abroad or even provide any special transit or basing rights abroad for our military forces. We will conduct military operations abroad only for humanitarian purposes and only in concert with the United Nations.

The people who won the election don’t even want the USA to be “The World’s Policeman” any more. They want the United Nations to fulfill that function.

They don’t even want the USA to use any military threats or force — or anything else more than diplomatic persuasion — to try to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction among morally retarded and primitive countries.

The USA is moving quickly into a posture of pacifism and isolationism. Our population expects wars in the Middle East and Africa and elsewhere and doesn’t think we can prevent any of those wars and doesn’t want any part of those wars.
