Over the last decade, Washington has doubled its military budget, fuelling massive military build-ups around the world, from the emerging powers in the South China Seas to the multi-billion-dollar arms deals in the Middle East, begging the question where and when this vicious cycle of rising military expenditures will end. Empire asks: what justifies this global military addiction, or, has the world been duped by the multi-national, military industrial complex? Well they do say the bigger you are the harder you fall

Why can't they just feed all the hungry people with that money? Or are they preparing for an enemy we don't know about yet.

Lets face it, there not hgetting out of Afganistan anytime soon, I raq will continue to occupy at least 50 000 combat troops, despite what they now call them, South Korea still needs US troops, there just aint anyone left to go into Iran.
Thats not ruling out air strikes however, but how effective have they ever been.

Doesn't seem to matter Darryl! The U.S. isn't happy unless were at war or telling people what to do. We all know this it's reality and history speaks for itself! Wes..the U.S. doesn't care about the poor hungry people. They don't have money and their not powerful so they figure the poor people can fuck off and die as needed. I'm not saying I completely dis-like my country BUT we've made such a mess of things, we can't even straighten our own money & health care problems out we definitely should NOT still be in another country telling them what they should do!!
