The way the industrial-military-political complex works, this war won't end easily. Congressmen will not vote to end a war that keeps their constituents employed, and by extension keeps themselves safely in their seats.


“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

- Upton Sinclair
