Think about the last 100-plus years.  From the Spanish American War to the War on Terror.  World Wars I & II; Korean & Vietnam Wars; The Cold War.  What's the common theme?  This PAX AMERICANA bullshit has screwed up the World long enough.  Why is the Defense Budget so large?  Do you think it is being spent on the brave men and women in uniform who serve and sacrifice?  America specializes in manufacturing war and weapons of war.  No matter what divides us, politically, socially or economically The War Machine gets its way.  And its not defense.  Its offense!  Step away from the T.V., radio, newspaper or what ever and THINK!  Put all the right/left, conservative/centrist/liberal stuff on hold and address the power of those who profit from war.  This stuff is completely out of hand.
