The publicity poster for the movie, Why We Fight. L. and I saw this the other night and found it to be excellent. It's starting point is Dwight Eisenhower's warning to beware the rise of the military industrial complex. From there the film traces the growth of that complex and how it has taken control of U.S. foreign policy for the sake of its own profits. Sick, sad, scary stuff. The concluding line comes from Karen Kwiatkowski: “I think we fight because basically not enough people are standing up saying, 'I'm not doing this anymore.'”

So true. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. If you *have* seen it, what did you think?
