Bombing Our Way Into The Hearts And Minds...

Drought caused by climate change, which in turn was caused by polluters, poverty as a result of drought and greed...these are the things that create extremism. Despite the whining from the Wrong Wing, the United States cannot afford to nor should it bomb its way into the hearts and minds of the Middle East. The military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about doesn't think we need to do anything but bomb the hell out of anybody who doesn't see eye to eye with us.  

Doesn't that tell you something?

It's like this country cannot seem to do anything without the military. Just check the budget: over half is dedicated to the military! A tiny, tiny portion goes to protecting and paying the soldiers...the rest is for management and materiel. Guess who the Oil Companies' biggest customer is? Well, it sure ain't Joe Public driving his SUV down 2 blocks to get his fuckin' Latte. 

I just want to know one thing...how many of our soldiers need to die before we decide to stop blowing people up and try something different? 4,000, 40,000, 400,0000, 4 million?
