Political parties seem to be one of the biggest culprits, and the in-fighting is more a matter of personal agenda and not national security as we hear over and again. In the last few weeks, it seems that nation has turned against nation, leaving us all to live under the constant threat of war. North Korea continues to show their strength by launching missiles, and Iran has done the same. Their heavy-handed…
