I agree with most of that, except the last sentence, which proves you are not well informed. Who is it that attacked Libya? Who is it that expanded the war in Afghanshitland? Who was it that interfered in the overthrow of Mubarak? Who is that wants war in Syria? Who is it that drops bombs from drones on Muslims? Who is it that invaded Packieland to kill OBL?
It has nothing to do with the right or left. Politicians and bureaucrats of both stripes love war, because it expands the power of the state. When an American reaches this level of understanding, they realize how the two parties divide us allowing them to fleece us. Lets stop the fleecing now.
It pains me to say it, but you are right. I would hope that progressive politicians would be less interventionist in other countries, but like the issue of supporting corporate power, they seem to get weak in the knees when it's time to rein in the military-corporate-interventionist cabal.
