All these can...

U.S. Continues to Stand by Bahrain
By Amanda Ufheil-Somers, FPIF Chuck Hagel's paeans to "political reform" in the Gulf must have sounded strange to political prisoners in repressive Bahrain, where he delivered his remarks. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel was full of tough talk when he visited the island kingdom of Bahrain in early December. The United States, he vowed, will continue to guard 'the free flow of energy and commerce' from the Persian Gulf and keep Iran nuclear-free, through the presence of 35,000 U.S. military...

War Is A Racket By Major General Smedley Butler 1935
CHAPTER ONE War Is A Racket War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope.
