Very well put James, as usual. WMD's should stand for Weapons of Mass Distraction. Here in the US millions are living in terrible poverty and homelessness is rampant. But still the dogs of war flog our frazzled psyches with yet another attempt to sell us a war, a big one.
Those that profit from these crimes order ever larger, destroyer-sized luxury yachts and jet planes. Where is the will to stand up to these inhuman masters? When will it become acceptable and common to admit that the ultra-wealthy are our biggest problem and that we don't really need them and never did?
While millions of Americans aren't comfortable, it's almost impossible to comprehend terrible poverty here. Try making mudpies and eating them, like people in Haiti do. It's a god damn national dish!
Homelessness sucks, but if you starve in America, you did it on purpose.
Everything else you say is true and right on the money.
So to speak.
