Why We Fight

I recently saw a first-rate documentary about the rise of the military-industrial-congressional complex and America's imperialism. Why We Fight is an effective, well-done, non-partisan discussion of the question: Why do we fight? Why are we fighting in Iraq? Why are American men and women dying overseas? My favorite parts of the documentary were the clips of President Eisenhower's farewell address in 1961 warning the citizenry of the potential threat to America's future of the military-industrial complex - it sounded rather like Ron Paul! Every citizen should watch this documentary before voting this year. We need to stop the warmongering NeoCons that want nothing more than to expand wars and military conflicts at the price of our personal liberties, national economy, and most precious of all - the lives of our men and women in the armed forces. You don't believe me? Check it out - plans for a nuclear first-strike war with Iran have been on the drawing boards since 2005. Over $9 million has been donated in this election cycle by defense contractors. Watch this documentary today - thanks to the freedom of the internet, you can watch this video online at Google Video here.
