The Empire State

War, children yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
--Rolling Stones

Judge N traces the history of empire-building that began w/ the Spanish American War. Millions have died and we've lost freedom.

Today we have 100+ military commitments and over 900 permanent military commitments worldwide. There can be little doubt that this raises animosity against the US worldwide. We would feed similarly if China made similar occupationists moves around the world.

An empire that occupies abroad occupies at home.
