The nature of Corporatism and the business end of war translates that the USA and its marketing agenda to produce, sell, and use weapons requires constant feeding and promotion. If it produces tidy profits, "War is good business, and business is good." It is sort of a USA domestic captive industry. Whereas the strong dollar kills the markets for exports, the secrecy, confidentiality, and gov't contracting keep the domestic arms industry (Military Offense budget about $700 billion) booming. A lot of fear here, terror, a lot of fear there, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and bogeyman supreme (Putin), and you can leverage these for big profits. Do we get security? C'mon, look at the MidEast. Have we made it secure? War on terror. Is that working? Looks more like cops terrorizing citizens. You've got better odds getting struck by lightning than killed by a terrorist. The odds of getting killed by a cop are a little daunting in the USA. Not so in other Nations. Just ask Corporate America, we need war, it's the only profitable business going on in the USA. This planetary overpopulation thing needs big killin', don't ya' know? It's a great Nation, with great people and lousy politicians and intelligence agencies.
