The USA 's main export is military weapons and weapons systems.

The United States government exports about 650 billion dollars in military hardware around the world each year. This is more than most other nations combined. This export of death dwarfs all other exports leaving the USA. The USA has a vested financial interest in creating and perpetrating war and destabiliztion throughout the world. Our government continues to make immense profits by selling weapons systems and instigating perpetual conflict around the world. The USA has a conflict of interest in any "peacemaking" efforts it takes part in. It is pure hypocrisy to pretend to spread democracy when your financial interests betray your true intentions.
Under the Obama administration the use of Unmanned aerial drones UAV's has dramatically increased since the Bush administration. Innocent civilians continue to be murdered. A new political party is in the White House but many of the same policies continue...

This is an interesting issue because it sits right at the heart of why we are facing men and women around the world who wish to harm Americans because of this fact, that we give them true reason to be perpetrators against the U.S.
I think this will continue as long as we have people in our government who do not truly represent the U.S. Citizen. As long as we have a military, with men and women who desire to join the military institution, there will always be a reason for armed conflict, especially when we are providing weapons to governments and foreign private contractors who do harm to their own people.
This is a type of diplomacy designed to instigate conflict, I don't know why but it seems our "government" is interested in keeping the citizens of the United States distracted from issues happening right here in the U.S., and the way they do this is create conflict where there is warning of danger of attack on U.S. soil. This keeps the citizens fearful of foreigners (there are millions of foreigners in the U.S.).
This distraction allows for enourmous amounts of taxpayer funding to disappear with no trace because the Citizens aren't concerned with government spending, they are preoccupied with security issues.
The sad part of all of this, is that we aren't doing our job at all as citizens, we are allowing our government who represents us to destroy communities around the world and subjugate human freedom by selling weapons to people who only want more power.
We should be absolutely ashamed of ourselves, Americans....

The only thing i'd like to say is that, there will be no war, there will be no innocent people being killed if there are no weapons being created or exported.

1. World's top defense budgets
2. World's largest arms exporters
Check who's on the lead.

Below is a link to a video entitled "U.S. Weapons at War", with the description:
Under the guise of fighting terrorism, the Bush administration has consolidated the U.S. role as the world's leading arms supplier, and as a major weapons exporter to dictators, human rights abusers, and nations at war. A panel of experts will suggest the outlines of a new approach.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GydJThqvYNg
Here are also some highlights from the video:
The top 25 US armament recipient nations are either undemocratic regimes or major human rights abusers.
KSA, UAE, Egypt, Colombia..
The US also supplied nations at war:
Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the Philippines, Thailand, Macedonia, Georgia, Israel, Lebanon
Other recipients:
DR Congo, Chad, Uganda, Nepal
