People who make wars
Liberty For All

The people who make wars, the people who reduce their fellows to slavery, the people who kill and torture and tell lies in the name of their sacred causes, the really evil people in a word, these are never the publicans and the sinners. No, they are the virtuous, respectable men, who have the finest feelings, the best brains, the noblest ideals...

Defense policy out of the Stone Age
Orange County Register

If you are not allowed to enslave people any more, or even loot their resources, then what is the point of being a traditional great power? The United States kept an army of over 100,000 soldiers in Iraq for eight years, at a cost that will probably end up around a trillion dollars. Yet it didn t enslave a single Iraqi (though it killed quite a lot), and throughout the occupation it paid full market price for Iraqi oil. So what American purpose did the entire enterprise serve? Oh, silly me. I forgot. It was about 'security.' And here it comes again, on an even bigger scale...
