Our political class, both Dem and Republican, is still ensnared in the Military Industrial Complex's (MIC) stranglehold on American politics. The generation of politicians that got into politics largely because of the failure of Vietnam actually voted for and supported Iraq from the outset. Since the end of WWII, our politicians still define themselves by military spending and willingness to send in the troops at the drop of a hat. Since the MIC has reigned supreme on our political discourse, our nation's economy and educational systems have suffered mightily. We have lost our industrial base and our school system has not kept pace with the world's educational system.
