I think our history of military involvement has a lot to do with arms manufacturing and sales. It's a merger of private and public agencies and a recognizable part of our GNP. As with any crimes, it's always said "follow the money." Not to confuse issues, the Abbott issue is not so different. Money and power like to feed each other. So all I can say in Abbott's regard is that I have much less sympathy for Abbott than the excellent author of the article. I wanted the irony to be as heavy as the illness that struck Abbott. But once again, money and power reign.
