    Of course. But then how does the military industrial complex get rich, and rape the country of it's prosperity?

    Weapons spending and development is off the charts. Since 9/11, the government has been introducing new branches and agencies every 6 months. This is a boom period for government and their corporatist allies. The (sic) War on Terror is great because you need foreign weapons to fight the unseen enemy, who has no navy, army or air force but is (supposedly) every where, and then you need all kinds of domestic programs and facilities to deal with everything from security to detention to martial law.

    Who was that famous General who said that "War is a racket!"?

    You can get them for swearing too buddy, I've had loads in the past.

    It's actually quite difficult to post anything about McCain without calling him a crazy mother f**cker because he is clearly one of the biggest lunatics in American history. :(

    The only thing Sunnis did to protest Iranian president visit was a demonstration by 250 people and it makes you wonder how much was the bill for American tax payers to arrange that demonstration. :D
