3. I think that our military/industrial/national security complex

has more influence than our president, regardless who is president.

That is our major problem now.

That complex is not interested in promoting national unity or our economy or anything else. They just want to rule the world including us.

So I don't blame Obama too much for this sort of horrible breach of human rights. He is just as unable to do anything about the military/industrial/national security complex as we are. Too bad for the fools who actually join that complex and get double-crossed by it.

Obama knows better than to get into a tangle with those guys. We just have to let them run themselves into the ground. Pretty soon the money will run out. And they can't do their thing without lots of money. They are ruining our economy and our country but could care less as long as they have their toys and their war games.
