We the People of the United States are a warmongering people. We are willing, even anxious to go to war in other people's country. We do not see ourselves as others see us. We see ourselves as the protector, helping underprivileged peoples to raise their standards of living. Others see us as a meddler, on occasion a ruthless meddler, in the lives of nations. While we offer a helping hand too often we exploit the people we claim to be aiding. How many wars have we fought since our War Between the States fifteen" twenty? How many have been within our own territory? We go to war often to the detriment of the people we claim to help while living in peace within our borders. We need to stay home. Today we are building or rebuilding the infrastructure of countries we have destroyed while the infrastructure of our country continues to disintegrate. We are nation building while our own citizens suffer. We are a warmongering people and we need to stop.
