    our hegemony has been bought with endless war. How many years since WWII have been free of US involvement, directly or indirectly, in war? Korea, Vietnam, installing the Shah, backing the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan, arming and supporting Saddamn Insane against an Iran we ourselves created, Gulf War One, Bush War II.... endless bloodshed, machinations by the military industrial complex that would make the Medicis blush, war for oil, war for profit, war to test our new war toys, war for patriotism. war. It's the American way. You post is inane in the extreme.
