Personally I think war profiteering should be a crime!

Really?
What exactly do YOU do for a living?

There are so many things wrong with what you've posted here - I don't know where to begin.
Do you seriously think you will ever get Americans to buy into your line of thinking?
You'll need the charisma and sex appeal of Obama for starters...
I heard awhile back that Mexico has more millionaires than Switzerland.
They certainly have the natural resources to rival the United States, and the ability to solicit technology from around the globe to use it wisely - but they are so corrupt that the working class has no hope of ever rising above their station in life. Those below that level in their society have resigned themselves to a subsistence type livelihood for centuries, little has changed for any of them.
Show me another nation on this planet that has a middle class as large and affluent as ours.
Seriously, at any time in history has there ever been anything like we enjoy?
And it just ain't good enough....
To sum it up for me, if you feel the American Way is so unfair and imperfect there are literally dozens of nations already doing it your way.
Try to duplicate your life, career, family, prosperity, health, home and anything else under the conditions THEY offer.
Do you have any idea why our forefathers left Olde Europe to start with?
