The UN estimated that the cost of one year of the Iraq War could have solved hunger in Africa for all time.
There is something utterly obscene about the armanents business conducted by the US, UK and Russia with all usually selling to both sides in a war.
Still..I reckon if Obama gets health care in,as he promised it will be an achievement.
I wouldn't hold my breathe though.

Please. Promises? Now you hold a designer-perfect package of illusions. When has Power released it’s hold? When has Power granted such Change?
Generals may sometimes lead but politicians are simply not known for progressive leadership. A politician is not inclined to scale-back anything but your pay. Power hangs on for life. 'Economics' requires unsustainable growth. Obama never addressed that- an element which defines humanity as a danger- &which has historically led to the collapse of civilizations.
No one person can cut the USA's police/military spending, not until events forcibly make this nation's money unavailable. But all tolerate the USA as world's mercenary. The USA has never built, then left a military base within a single generation. ‘Downsizing’ personnel is a long drawn-out intricate affair of internal tit-for-tat.
Likewise no one has 'given' anything like 'freedom' to any generation.
People take a freedom, or make a freedom-
with the threat of power-change, which always has elements of violence-
or such freedom does not exist.

I agree with David-his speech on the ME is fairly revolutionary and standing up to Israel was a feat. It was also highly dangerous.
There is a problem-once you get to be president you are basically in the system and owe so many favours. Obama's biggest financiers were Wall Street who correctly perceived another Republican would be even more disastrous than the last.
If Obama can pull of universal health care in the USA it will be like performing a miracle. The greatest and wealthiest supporters of Bush were Health Care corporations followed by oil.
But he has an advantage...a crisis of such great magnitude it's when you can actually push through changes.
As they say-it's a crying shame to waste a crisis.
For Americans I believe he is a healing person-he's bringing together people as no-one else would have.
I'm prepared to give him time.He may make changes..but no-one is as disappointing as Blair !

Nothing ever happens in US politics. After all theyll be starting their election campaign in about a years time.A president has 18 months to do what he has to and then the campaigning starts and the president can do nothing cos he is out on the stump. By the way Obama is going grey rather quickly, is it natural or has he stopped using the "Just For Men"?
