Not all American governments have spent time fighting such things. It ranks differently on the priority list of each administration.
Obviously Daddy Bush and Baby Bush both have similar priorities since daddy's power put Baby B in office.
Basically the concept is to increase the average American's debt while boosting the profits of the big companies. The profits have to come from somewhere and that’s my pocket. The trick is to keep people distracted while your stealing from them. Think about a pickpocket or any thief on the street. They will usually use distraction while they grab your money.
How does this administration keep the public distracted? The war on terror in Iraq (war for corporate profits) worked for a while. Maybe we'll invade Iran but the cost of the hurricanes will slow that down since we can only borrow so much from China.
If you can't start a war with another country you need to start a war in another area. In this case it will be a war of morals. The fight will be against gay people that bother no one else. The fight will be against naked consenting adults. The fight will be against illegal immigrants that corporations keep paying. The fight will be against abortion because that’s killing on American soil and killing in other countries such as Iraq is OK.
Our politicians are some of the smartest in the world as they control more wealth then any others. For $300 in tax cuts they got the support of enough Americans to give up their jobs, health care and retirement funds.
It’s just that Americans are not well educated any more. We rank very low in areas such as math, science, geography and current affairs. However, we do have more televisions then any other country even though televisions are no longer manufactured by American companies.
