Without these decades of misguided wars and military conflicts America might actually have become "the greatest nation in the world", with a booming economy, millions of manufacturing jobs in new sources of energy, excellence in education, health care for all, a solid infrastructure and a national surplus instead of a $!4 trillion national deficit. And American exceptionalism might be a reality, not just wishful thinking.
Drip, drip, drip. That's the remaining wealth of America going down the drain as the costs of war break our national bank. When will all those Congressional deficit fighters who keep warning about what will happen if we don't stop the spending finally wake up to the fact that their premier target should be the Pentagon, the six wars we are currently engaged in and the military empire we continue to support?
This addiction, this obsession with war is clear evidence of the moral decadence of those who use it for their own personal gain; this is a national and international disgrace. We the people must find some way to rid the body of America of the cancer of war and cleanse our national soul.
