Are only alright as long as the Military Industrial Complex is making money hand over fist, as fast as they can. Then it is not so bad. You know money trumps being a terrorist from a first world country.
It is okay when we train mercenaries for private companies so corporations may have private armies. It's okay when we kick in the doors to civilian family homes and take away the big brother and the dad for imprisonment and torture. Somebody from a corporate personhood is making bank.

It's only okay when we do the terrorizing and somebody makes a buck. Keeping the world safe for Capitalism, oops error, I mean Democracy.

Most of this is sarcastically written. If ya can't tell. Better tag it.
