Why is the American government/ Empire so keen on war all the time?

Politicians are like diapers: they need to be changed often, and for the same reasons.

I guess if you think like that. One day you think there will be no need for politicians. The people will run their own affairs. At least thats what i want anyway. I hate representative democracy

I am pretty much a libertarian so we probably agree on more than you initially thought.  I am also a realist however, and as one I believe that the world does need some order, and that sometimes force is needed.
