      This is a weak repackaging the "war on terror" in terms of spreading "liberal" values. The concept (Read: Lie) that we are waging wars to spread a value or to do some "good" is propaganda to get American mothers to send their children off to war with a clean conscience. These wars are fought for geopolitical strategic positioning. These wars are fought for power for power's sake. These wars are fought to open markets for multinational corporations. If we used our military power to bring peace where it was need, there would have been peace in Africa decades ago, but Africa's resource don't require an army to be exploited. This guy is spewing the party line of the evil empire. I'm over it.
