Warmongers – Beyond Giuliani’s Bile, The Real Threat
Giuliani’s impugning of the president’s patriotism was cankerous, but his bellicose assault on Obama’s foreign policy is part of a growing war hysteria that is far more dangerous. It is far past time for more sensible voices to be heard. This is a time for the U.S. to address its real security needs, not to lurch mindlessly into more wars abroad. We need to focus on rebuilding our economy at home, not policing the world. We need to lead by example, not by force. We must learn that the U.S. military cannot and should not be the answer to every horror and every civil war in the world. Progressives who have been eerily absent from this debate must find their voice.

1. True words

"We need to focus on rebuilding our economy at home, not policing the world. We need to lead by example, not by force. We must learn that the U.S. military cannot and should not be the answer to every horror and every civil war in the world."

Time to wind down the military force craze of the past 14 years, and go back to using diplomacy, and then start to reduce our gigantic unnecessary war machine down to a reasonable and sane size.

The use of the military as a first response is out of control, as is the amount of money that is being wasted and thrown away on it.
