We need to get rid of the war making money hole that is the current corporate military establishment. It is the reason that we have paranoid madmen running the country, and its because large corporations want the free lunch of defense contracts.
It is the only way we can eliminate the neo-conservative influence in washington. It is the only way we can begin a reform of the military and a meaningful cut in military spending. As long as defense contractors know that they can determine thier own profits simply by influencing politics, our freedom will always be threatned.
Not to mention the incredibally scary thought of corporations with armies. Conservatives allow globalization to free corporations of any national constraints and let the corporations arm themselves... Sounds like a GREAT idea.
