    No, it’s convincing the military industrial complex there isn’t rampant profits to be made by it…

    I’m afraid you’ll have to impeach the President to make that stick. And you should have done that when Shrub was President!

    The Republicas try to end wars quickly with overwhelming force, but the Dems like to drag them out forever with talks and sanctions and other “humanitarian” approaches.

    Sadly folks, prosperity in the U.S. has, historically , been based on a wartime economy. But the idea of a War on War does have a certain appeal, doesn’t it?

    “Animals” fight until one establishes dominance. Fatalities are rare, and usually an “accident”. “Humans” kill each other in mass murder, call it “war”, and turn it to profit for a small segment of “cheerleaders”, while others die in their service.

    If only humans behaved like animals.

    there is a simple way to avoid war. Throw up your hands and surrender. Of course, life might be a little difficult after that, but so what? No war.

    Isn’t a “War on War”a war? Wouldn’t that be an infinite loop?

    Yes, Peter Sellers in " The Mouse That Roared". Brilliant piece of political satire for it’s day that still holds up. Recommended must see. Seller plays different roles but I won’t spoil it for you. See it!

    It’s hard to find a politician who’ll say that. Any time “war” is declared on anything (even domestic stuff), it involves violence, which The State has a monopoly on.
