Good points. Thanks.

It is important that you point out the substantial overlap between economics and the MIC. We witnessed how the nation can be lied into war, with a majority of people supporting the Bush-Cheney aggression in Iraq. As time passed, the nation came to understand that there were no ties between Saddam and 9/11, nor a WMD threat posed by Iraq. Yet the damage done to our nation by that episode remains unaddressed, and the MIC is, if anything, more entrenched.
