    no, we have a much bigger body count. our deliberate mishandling of Iraq to increase contractor and defense industry opportunity caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq. The Syrian government is a bunch of amateur pikers next to us.

    That is self righteous hypocritical bullshit. Plenty of genocide and brutal mass murdering despots in other places on the globe, but we're supposed to give a shit only if there is oil or other resource involved?

    because they have Weapons of Mass Destruction, so we have to use our Weapons of Mass Destruction on them and increase shareholder value so we have a bigger supply of those tools of peace in an increasingly hostile world!

    "have been effective to date"....yes, numerous cases where the FBI and DHS have found a mentally retarded person, courted them for a time filling their minds with violent thoughts and doctrine, and then arranged for them to take delivery of a paperweight, and then swooping in with SWAT team to "capture the dangerous terrorist", with congratulations and back patting and mutual congratulatory cock sucking all around.

    Here's a clue for you, that is a "false flag attack", the Nazis had great luck with that, and the current crop of corporate fascist pigs running this country into the ground are also doing a marvelous job with it.

    wrong! even if we take the entire Apollo program which had other purposes before Kennedy's challenge, that was $25.4 billion as reported in 1973. That's 102.3 billion dollars now. Or the cost of the U.S. nuclear arsenal which is two thirds of a trillion dollars every decade. A fraction of cost of a war with no purpose and no results (other than a few hundred thousand dead Iraqi citizens), for example. Space exploration is very cheap.
