i love andy rooney

Last night Andy Rooney summed it all up on his little weekly rant on 60 Minutes, click that link to read the whole thing. At first it seems like an Iraq rant, but the main point is really about the military-industrial complex:

We had a great commander in WWII, Dwight Eisenhower. He became President and on leaving the White House in 1961, he said this: "We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. …"

Well, Ike was right. That's just what's happened.
