America is hooked on war

They’re so ignorant of the rest of the world, the last thing they need to be doing is meddling in Afghanistan, Iraq. As the old saying goes, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

It’s incredible that the governments of the world are on track to invest nearly a trillion dollars a year in killing people. You can’t tell me that that amount spent on weapons is for “defense,” “self-protection,” etc. It's like Orwell said: "War is peace" to them. More than that, though, war is profit to many U.S. weapons makers and manufacturers, who make enormous amounts of money selling arms and material not only to the U.S. government but to many others around the world.

They call them terrorists because the World hates. It seems to me that people who kill others without proof of their guilt-or even without being sure who they're killing-are terrorists themselves.
