War does not bring peace, it brings money to financiers, power to military commanders, employment to uneducated soldiers, fat contracts to military contractors and corporations, diversion from an ailing economy. Why do we have war? Because too many people are heavily invested in the idea, more so than in the idea of peace. Curing cancer and world peace are the goals we cannot afford to achieve, lest it send the economy into the toilet, and people into the unemployment line. They are a happy fiction story we tell ourselves, in order to pacify our consciousness.
