The national security threat not mentioned

The Democratic debate last night exceeded expectations. The five candidates showed why they are the only ones who should even be running IN BOTH PARTIES. Many fascinating moments but one big disappointment. Though not unexpected, when asked what the biggest national security threat to US was, no one mentioned the obvious: the US war party, composed of civilian and military government officials, both elected and appointed; media war party propagandists, and those ubiquitous makers of US weapons of mass murder like cluster bombs and depleted uranium. They have all dragged US into a half dozen plus military interventions in the last 15 years that have squandered trillions while America crumbles, killed, maimed or displaced millions of innocents, and oh yes, all failed. To a greater or lesser degree, all five remain beholden to the American war party. Being anti war is a non-starter for presidential contenders, even Democrats.
