Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
- President, General, and all-around great American, Dwight D. Eisenhower

Israel

While Colombia and Latin America may be more my area of expertise, it doesn't take an expert to see that Israel's treatment, as highlighted by its most recent aggressions against the people of Gaza, fall nothing short of abuse on so many levels. Of course the United States, with its reverence of the state of Israel and the religious nature of that support, will never stand up to the atrocities.
