This is written by An Iranian am publishing it without any editing. Iranian Friend if don’t get into trouble in Iran would like to publish his first name.
China and Russia spend 65 and 50 billions respectively. France and UK with 45 and 42.8 billion dollars have the subsequent grades respectively.
During the past seven years, US military budget has increased substantially. Such a rise is mostly related to the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. In this report it is mentioned that, the announced 623 billion USD budget does not include US supports to Egypt and Israel. It is also mentioned that such a budget is 29 times the total military budgets of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Sudan and Syria. None of those countries have good relations with US government .As stated in that report; those countries spend a total sum of 14.650 billion dollars on their military defense affairs.
We should know that so far, even with small threats, US government has attacked to its enemies and started wars. While most of the Democrats presidency candidate in USA are still talking about developing this affair.
Hillary Clinton says that she will try to develop and modernize her country military power, so the need for long occupation of other countries shall reduce. John Edwards said that he will double the military budget. Barak Obama says that they should immediately develop the power of their military forces, in order to regain the world leadership .He believes that a strong military force will keep and establish the global peace. He is right about his last sentence .But when you look at the present US military budget and the way US government is acting in the world ,you will realize what is really behind all these disgusting propagandas.

I definitely agree and appreciate your speaking out. Our government in the US has been further and further collapsing to the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned the public about in 1960. Every administration has played in to that and the Bush administration has really taken the reigns and driven over the cliff with it.
I am a little skeptical about your accounts of the presidential candidates views, especially what you said about Edwards. I am not saying you are incorrect, but I could appreciate sources if possible.
Thanks for speaking out about the indefensible defense budget.
