Islam is just the latest boogieman. We are a nation that apparently cannot survive unless we have an enemy and a war to fight. When we can't find a big one like Communism or Terrorism we just find some small dictator like Saddam and use him as the boogieman.

We are a War Mongering nation. We spend 60% of our tax revenue on the military, more then the next 25 countries put together. And 24 of those countries are our allies.

We love killing. Helping people though? Naw they can lift themselves up by their bootstraps.
