This is an incredible chart from Al Jazeera.
It shows just how barbaric US foreign policy has been, bombing ten countries this century.
The United States is a nation addicted to war.

I know I should be promoting my book. I'm dealing with some things that have made it difficult to do much else—even promote this work that I love and that is so beautiful. I want to. But, life. I hope it finds its way to you. More than that, I hope you're finding ways to live in spite of this world.
