They occur in the gray area in between. It is far too arrogant of either one of us to pretend to know everything about international relations. We're kind of like political "armchair quarterbacks". Sure makes for good arguments, though. But I'm sure I misspell alot of words and make alot of gramatical errors; not having all that fancy "college lernin'". Don't you know.

The world is not Thw Wizard of Oz, and the US military is not the man behind the curtain.Neither is the president.The atomic bomb was not invented by the US military. When the US used the bomb, its long term effects on global politics were unknown. Did the inventor of the gun know that teenagers would use them someday to shoot their classmates? Of course not. As for this "constant state of war", lets refine our terminology. Involving our military in "operations" around the world that have no effect on us is something that even I disagree with. I think we overtax ourselves with trying to "help" too many countries. Our involvement in smaller, more limited skirmishes is third world countries has earned us a reputation of meddling, rather than helping. So yeah, perhaps we do agree, in a way. However, the military does what the politicians tell it to. I don't just pick up a gun and head for Iraq to kill me some A-rabs like I'm deer hunting or something. We follow orders, as is our job.

I still see you’re begging
On by now your bloody knees
With your foreign policy
Of appease appease appease

Maybe your girl left
Because she wanted a man
Not some symp wimp who says
It’s they who don’t understand

Loser loser loser
America’s always too blame
Right down the ol sink hole
You’ll always be the same

Till you suck in that last
Pathetic breath
And get that one glimpse
Of where life is

Right at the edge of death

Screw the military. Defense is necessary at times, but this constant state of war is fucked up. The military created and dropped the first atom bomb on human beings. Screw the military.
