America Wants War

We are a warring nation.
We have a war on terror, drugs, poverty, AIDS, illiteracy, taxes, global warming, well not global warming because Americans don't want to believe that we cause global warming.

We spend trillions of dollars on weapons.
We develop a lot of really neat technology it is true, but ultimately it is used to wage war.

It is hard to look at our policies and conclude that we as Americans want peace on earth.
We undermine democracies so that we can prop up dictators who are favorable to our financial interests in the region, then we claim that they are dictators and bomb them.

Just when the big threat from communism disappeared along comes Bush and guess what? We have terrorism to fight...
I just wish we would stop looking around for the threat to global security and realize that we are the threat.

We have been at war my whole life.
I'd like to live to see the day when we try something different.
