We need to focus more on our own country and people within it, those who have to deal with no jobs, no homes, no money, no anything and fix the problems we have caused ourselves rather then focusing on outside forces and what they are doing. Whats more important to us, the success, growth, and learning within our country or trying to maintain the top of useless wars and problems with other countries?

@tonymanic112 Honestly you don´t know what you are saying. He is talking about the tools to make power, and a crude analysis of what the accumulation of power is today, regarding the USA. He is not a government apologist.
