"Evil minds that plot destruction;
Sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning." - Black Sabbath, War Pigs 

Washington D.C. is a cesspool filled to the brim with bloodthirsty, maniacal warhawks who seem to enjoy nothing more than sending your brothers and cousins and sons into foreign lands that have nothing to do with us, disguising their financial and power-hungry motives with the veil of patriotism. Still not convinced? Worry not; I've got receipts.
