It just seems all we can do as a sivalization is kill each other, and to hell with anyone who tries to get in the way. If we as a people would worked harder on our relationship with other countries and less on killing we may get farther then i believe we ever will in this life time.

Why is it that we (America) spend billions on bombs and death showers; instead of helping those in need.?

Even after correcting I don't see a question just a rant. America spends billions of dollars helping countries in need each year.

Whats a Death Shower?? some new secret weapon we got from the Transformers or from Darth Vader??
The only other death showers I recall are the ones used in Nazi Extermination Camps.
Perhaps we shouldd work harder on our education and spelling then others would understand us, but there never will be an end to war, its one of natures ways of keeping the population down!

Do you have any knowlege at all of the U.S. Federal budget? Defense allocations amount to less than 10% of the total monies spent! In addition to the majority of Federal spending for "set in concrete" entitlement programs, the inhabitants of the U.S. donate several billions of dollars each year to charities involved in reducing poverty and human want in the U.S. and overseas.
I'm getting tired of all this foolishness about the U.S. not caring about the poor and downtrodden. The Marshall Plan rescued Western Europe from utter devestation after World War Two, permitting the current generation of Europeans to engage in "America Bashing". We fed, clothed and warmed the Japanese after World War Two as well. Had it not been for that, they would have continued to die in record numbers from non-combat causes.
BTW, where the hell was all this international concern and assistance to rebuild the U.S. Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina's devastation? Charitable handouts can go both ways you know!

Your concept would be nice if it was possible. It is very hard to help people who feel hatred towards us. Generation after generation ,usually beginning at a young age, for example, Iraq and many other countries trains its citizens to hate and kill Americans. It is near impossible to deal with these types of situations peacefully.

Death Showers ?? Are you coming from a 1940's Germany ?? We're working to eradicate a threat to civilization as we know it.
I agree we should spend money on other things... like education, so you could SPELL.

Because we live in a corporatocracy which loads the deck to support the interests of the rich and powerful. The dwindling middle class is told to continuously work harder, take another job, drink more coffee, go back to school, quit whining, and take out more loans in order to maintain the same standard of living they had before.

"Death showers"?, what kind of fanasty world did you escape from? Death showers refers to the the Nazis death camps of WWII where they march innocents into gas chambers disguided to look like shower rooms.
By the way, it is CIVILIZATION!!!

Because of the old but true saying:

You should ask, "why did Islamic Arab terrorists kill 3000 innocent Americans in WTC?" You should ask, "why did William Jefferson Clinton (Mr. Hillary, Monica's boy friend, Gennifer Flowers' ex-boyfriend of twelve years) let it happen. He knew, but was too busy philandering to worry about something as trivial as America's security.
