The US is like a drunkard who charges to war with anyone who might pose a threat, ex-Senator and former US presidential candidate Mike Gravel says.
*I like the US. But at the same time I think my country is an imperial country that is going downhill, and our leadership does not even acknowledge the problem, confesses Gravel.
Phony triumphalism has turned into a device to make Americans live in fear of a terrorist attack, yet you are a thousand times more likely to catch cancer than ever be hurt by that, he points out.
All I can say about what the US is doing its immoral, Gravel says, explaining that as a result of 9/11, we have altered our moral compass. And people began to get used to brutalizing each other.
In Afghanistan, in Iraq and in Vietnam at the era, all American soldiers died in vain, Gravel claims, recalling the millions of war victims in Vietnam, which is now developing along its own path, regardless.
New American policies enable US military or security officials to take a decision and dispatch a drone to kill a suspect without trial together with all civilians who happen to be close to the target, Gravel says.
The morality of that is removing responsibility those who drop bombs [from remotely operated robot drones] do not see people die, he says.

The Yanks are punch drunk with power and need to continually oil their military-industrial complex. They need wars to sustain this monster.
So who's next? Iran and Pakistan's Balochistan are already in their cross hairs.
