I fear that McCain will win. I won't vote for him since I believe its again time for the Democrats to run the show for awhile, but if the past is any indicator, Americans are imperialists deep down and they want someone who will keep us committed to preserving our empire.
I recently saw that movie,
Why We Fight and I think that it addresses the motives of America for the last fifty years. Folks of both political persuasions have allowed this military industrial complex to flex its muscles at will, and I don't see us changing our tune anytime soon.
I for one think we should cut the defense budget in half and use the half we keep to rebuild our infrastructure. Otherwise we will soon become an impoverished nation ourselves.
