  The US government has hundreds of miltary bases in other countries, military spending is where 50% of your tax dollars go, there are huge profits to be made by big business in this. One thing that is needed is that human consciousness of the problem, (minus the propaganda indoctrination) needs to be raised to a higher level, I see signs of this happening, but as yet it is not enough yet to make the sweeping changes that are needed so that we don't wind up inihilating the whole human race, our consciousness has not keep up with our technology of weapon making, profits and self interest put us in the dangerous path leading to nonexistance:

  military spending is where 50% of your tax dollars go,

  Per the Congressional Budget Office website the FY 2007 budget totals 2.069 trillion dollars. The defense budget is $397 billion or 19%

  Historically the US has been reluctant to go to war. The Revolutionary War was an act of desperation, most people (even the signers of the declaration of independence) would have prefered to work things out with the king. Slavery festered for seventy years before the civil war. WWI went for three years before we got in. It took an outright attack to get us into WWII.

  It may be fashionable to assume that the current administration is the evil heart of America. I think that is unjustified when examined closely.

  FHN & WAY,

  The trouble is that what we call justified war is often spoon fed to us by the corporation owned media so that what we may call justified may be a product of this propaganda:

  I think this guy makes a lot of sense with the need to wage "unconditional peace" in the most extraordinary ways:

  "unconditional peace"

  A ten dollar word for "surrender"
