Go through all the leaders we have had and then count all the years when the military were watching the gear rust? We have had smiling orators, foaming Christians and some dumb prats but we have always had a war. Historical evidence clearly shows their story. We tend to think of and remember the BIG wars, but there has been a continuous line of what I call pygamy wars. However, people still die and suffer in these "little" wars but they don't make headline news and they don't hurt us, so they are forgotten. The Uk has had its troops fighting in some part of the world through out my entire life, (I'm 74) and history tells me that it was going on before I arrived here. I think if you look at the history of the US you will find the same continuous line. Changing the leader has never changed the system.

Maybe factions of the ruling class have decided war and militarism are bad for business. But Obama is, I think, arguably less bellicose and warlike.

Without the big money backers he goes no where. So his policies will be those of his backers, follow the money and you see the philosophy behind him.
