War is a racket, as the title of USMC Major General Smedley Butler’s historic antiwar treatise proclaimed decades ago. Similarly, a close look at how U.S. Commerce Department efforts to steer contracts to U.S.-based firms to rebuild of Afghanistan’s Kandahar Airport is but one indicator that the racket of war — embodied in the so-called Global War on Terror (GWOT) — continues in full force.

There no proofs that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and is a more potential danger the 10000 nuclear weapons that have US or Russia.
