"The extent to which you are able to recognize this is the extent to which you are unplugged from the partisan puppet show."
The key point. The moment you hear arguments about US militarism posed as D or R, stop reading, stop listening. Run the other way. War is bipartisan because moving wealth upward to elite overlords is bipartisan. To do it by force of arms is injustice in every sense --- to the attacked rendered homeless, dead , or injured, to the poor attacking dupes who give their bodies to the war machine, to the populace who watches tax-dollar wealth disappear into the greedy maws of corrupt politicians, generals, and military contractor-elites. To the environment which is almost always damaged --- even beyond the stat that B-52 bombers consume 3300 gal of fossil fuel per hour. If, as Cornel West posits, justice is the public face of love, than one must also posit that the cumulative injustices of war are the public face of a deteriorating culture steeped in hatred. Imperialist Capitalism is doomed to die of its own hatred.
