As the great Bruce Sprinsteen once said, "Don't believe everything your govt tells you. Putting your faith in your govt will get you killed."
The sad thing is that this is what ignorant people think is the reason why we are over in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have personally seen with my own eyes how the peope in Iraq have changed since we been over here. They went from being scared chitless of even walking down the street during the day to being able to have drinks with their friends at night and not have to worry bout getting killed. When we finally caught Saddam everybody was celebrating. We are over here fighting to keep OUR country free and to be able to live in poeace and not have to live in fear.
Please forgive my ignorance here, but how does waging a "war" in someone elses country(middle east) maintain ones freedom etc, in their home country (USA)
It's simple. We fight them here or over there. Problem with here would be many Americans would want to give "them" free healthcare, food stamp, welfare and subsidized housing!!
Do I believe in everything our government tells me, No, but I get the benefit of living in a free country where I make my own life, can go as far in life as I want so I do support my country.
Not to mention they drew first blood.
Remember 9-11.
Now back to our regular program. I'm not knocking Dart, but if it were me I would have given some spec on the foreign block against the Dart block. The way the article is written it looks like they're the same block and Dart is just giving in to them and doing a price war which we all know want win in the long run. JMO
I sure hope a few years of these cheap blocks doesn't put Dart in the same position as Barry Grant and Holley :shock:
