here's some more words of wisdom.... the USA and its leaders are ALWAYS on the lookout for a new war. Just like Eisenhower said they would. And HE had a pretty good view of it all. Nothing like a good war or two to keep the military-industrial complex cranking out the weapons and raking in the cash for the already rich elite while the poor and middle class die for their wealth.
Fifty thousand died in 'Nam, for what? The ONLY thing that happen was the rich owners of the weapons industry got THEIR kids "deferrments", while the poor kids died. Same thing in Iraq. Same thing in Kuwait. Same thing in Afghanistan. Why do you think we are still in Afghanistan? Clue --- it ain't for "freedom" and "democracy" and it ain't to stop "terrorism'.
