War, War and More War.

Looks like, without a miracle, either Hillary or Trump will win and American leadership will continue to put the MIC above the needs of the world and Americans themselves.

We can't afford anything in America because our budget is lopsided towards the military. We can always afford another war but we can't afford clean water.

If Hillary or Trump win, I will hang my head in shame. The wars will continue and the suffering we cause will be ignored for another four years.

Supporters may think that they have won but we have all lost.

How can this be in a country so great?

We're so determined to take Democracy to other countries yet our brand of Democracy doesn't seem to be working here. Just look around.

to visit upon millions of innocent people in so many countries. Perhaps the majority of Americans identify with the awesome power over life of US war machines. Maybe it makes them feel like #1. I hope this isn't the case but as so many appear to be dead set on electing lovers of war, it does make one wonder.
