I guess it is high time you guys dispose of the military industrial complex once and for all.These guys keep up dreaming schemes to extort money from the taxpayer to line the pockets of some tycoons .There is no menace of a massive nuclear attack from any nation on earth ,whatsoever .There is however a dire need of transforming your health care system.No less than 100.000 amereicans die every year for no reason at all but the greed of your insurance companies,from the WAshington POst:

A separate study by researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine provided further evidence that the United States often falls short on health outcomes despite spending more per capita on health care than any other country. That research, also published today in Health Affairs, found that the United States ranked worst among 19 countries in the number of deaths that could have been prevented through better access to timely and effective health care.

Had the United States performed as well as the top three countries -- France, Japan and Australia -- it would have seen about 101,000 fewer deaths per year from conditions such as hypertension, appendicitis, tuberculosis, and colon and cervical cancers.

Such an article and the findings it points to would cause a storm of indignation if such deficiency was found in our health care system in Europe .It shoyuld be similare in the USA .However especially your republican presidential candidates systematicaly ignore these issues and prefer to concentrate on issues such as terrorism because it allows them to use the paranoia instigated by Bush to divert money from health care into the armament industry .
