Gogs, as I have said a million times, the problem with the US government is money. As long as electeds need private money (from AIPAC or Pentagon contractors, for example), they cannot properly focus on anything other than getting the money, and legislating in whatever way will please the donor.

Military action in the Middle East pleases AIPAC, as long as it's hostile to anyone except Israel, and it pleases Pentagon contractors (to support a "proxy war" of any kind, for or against anyone) because it creates a market for those contractors. Some of the equipment, violently expensive, though it is, doesn't even work well. The available excuse of the US government is that we have an opportunity to try it out and improve it, at the expense of other people's lives, of course.
