The US has a NEVER ENDING WAR Mentality. Lots of money to be made with wars.

Republican voices have one myopic monosyllabic answer to every question on foreign policy: War. And more.

“Republicans simply don’t acknowledge the legitimacy of diplomacy as a tool of American power,” observed Senator Chris Murphy on the tired and cliché GOP reaction to a nuclear deal with Iran. “Democrats have to make a loud, passionate case for diplomacy as part of the way we keep ourselves safe. This is going to be the seminal diplomatic achievement of this administration. It will provide us with our best opportunity to make a case for diplomatic engagement with the rest of the world.”

There has to be a point where the painfully dull process of peace is more desirable than belligerently bombing the hell out of other countries. Where we build instead of annihilate—negotiate instead of obliterate. Where politicians boast about the wars they’ve ended instead of the never-ending ones they’ve started. And most importantly we opt not to destabilize yet another region creating more fertile ground for groups like ISIS to thrive.

We’re living in the middle of the longest (endless) most expensive global struggle ever. This should be that point.
