It never ceases to amaze me that governments have so much money to spend on war yet they cut spending for education social housing and anything else that would go towards making the world a better place for us, our children and future generations.

AMEN.

Which means that those wars are in effect a "laundry" service taking money off the important aspects (education, health, etc) and putting into pockets of oil, weapons and other companies!

I agree with all of the above.
