On Wednesday, February 18, 2015, presidential candidate Jeb Bush made a statement. So did our current President, Barack Obama.
As I noted at the time, in a couple of postings to my Facebook page, both statements were "good news" for the merchants of death who celebrate the military actions that the United States is embarking upon virtually everywhere around the globe.
- Jeb Bush said, "more military spending will encourage peace."
- President Obama said (through representatives of his administration), "the Obama administration will permit the widespread export of armed drones for the first time."
- Bob Dylan said, "Even Jesus would never forgive what you do."

MY COMMENT: These times are not going to change automatically. We're going to have to do something about it!
