The American economy is based war--on the 800 billion annual war budget. Wars bring huge profits to the military industrial complex and related sectors (e.g. energy corporations). Each war brings them bigger profits.  These profits enable them to increase their "contributions" to pro war politicians, bringing then more power. They use this power to justify even more wars that will bring them even more profits and power. There is no way out of the vicious militarist cycle. Peace groups are infiltrated and disrupted. Dissenting voices for peace are denounced as disloyal.
