I know exactly what you mean Indi. It boggles the mind trying to understand the logic behind this sometimes. Those hundreds of Billions spent on Iraq (which continue being spent) could have easily provided universal health insurance in US for years to come at no extra cost to the tax payer (without setting US trillions back in debt).
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
