Military Industrial Complex and unrequited paranoia rule America, and will ruin the dream.

The calculation and analysis done to support attacking Iraq, bombing Libya, and invading Afghanistan was EXTREMELY FLAWED!

REAL NATIONAL SECURITY starts here within the USA borders, and better choices can be made if we could get rid of stupid ideas that the USA needs to go overseas to solves world threats.

What could the United States government have accomplished for the security and wel-being of America if we had skipped the Iraq war, ad not spent the last 17 years at war in Afghanistan?  Think in terms of "opportunity cost."

We could have used the approximately $6TRILLION (PLUS! - we are still counting as the Middle East turmoil the USA unleashed continues, the amount is still growing as we learn of waste, fraud, and abuse of dollars by stupid administrators with stupid ideas about a culture we never understood and never will understand, and still looking for lost, unaccounted for dollars?

We could have secured our NATION while allowing the Middle East to solve there own issues IN THE MIDDEL EAST,

We could have allowed all the terrorists to grow and grow and grow, and that would not be bad.  Why?  Because a big army is easier to SEE and KIL!  We could have waited for one massive assault if it ever became necessary!  WE could have killed the big army easier than the small army!!

We could have built up the border patrols, air traffic safety, Coast Guard ocean patrols, etc., rebuilt American infrastructure, offered health care for all, fixed our policing system to reduce racism, found a way to give everyone that wanted a job, a job, ensured Social Security remained viable, gotten the nuclear waste issue under control, protected America from cyber attacks, etc.

We could have done it all and remained friends with our Allies in the EU and NATO, and to our North and our South.
