In this nutso time, it is nice to see normal sanity. Well said.

War , oncology analogy doesn't work for me, cancer is a disease anyone can get while war is put upon the those unable to stop what others start, how can the people in Libya, syria stop the US from bombing them, how could people in other countries stop the same.

You have complex sentence structures. It seems like there should be some periods and question marks in there somewhere.

The oncology analogy was for the MIC. You have now shifted to foreign policy. I don't believe that the MIC have a significant say in which countries get bombed.

Here is another analogy: I don't blame tow truck operators for cars that breakdown or are in accidents. The operators know that they will be needed at some point in time and will make a profit. The MIC make weapons that will be used at some point because there will probably be organized violence leading to a counter-response.

How can the people in Syria stop the US from bombing them? Good question. How can they stop Putin from bombing them or Bashar al-Assad from bombing them? Are these the same people getting bombed by the US? If we shut down the MIC and the US renounce all use of force (except in self-defense), will we see a significant reduction in world-wide violence? Will there be greater freedoms and democracy?

Aren't bad dudes supposed to tried before killed? I thought that was what amerika was about, the shining light, the beacon for all, a land of laws where all are equal.

That was the general idea before the advent of suicidal terrorism. I shed no tears for OBL. In my opinion, Seal Team 6 made the world a better place. I think that some Libyans finished off Qaddafi.
