I suppose war is big business to many political figures regardless of where they're from.


It reminds me of these particular words in a song by Marvin Gaye:What's Going On?

We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

maybe some people are so wild and conditioned from a young age to desire to hate and kill, just one reason

Violence is the most fundamental way of settling a dispute. If you can't talk about it or trade for it then you will fight over it. Politics and trade are war by another name. Politics, trade and war are all forms of competition.

I'd also say that there's a psychological need for violence. Violence is aggression projected outwards as opposed to the pacifistic self-annihilating form of aggression that is aimed inwards. An example of the latter is in the overpopulation debate, many Liberal White/Western people(who don't have enough children as it is)suggest having less children so that Pakistani's can have seven. This is self-loathing. The rightminded non-pacifist kills someone elses children before they'd kill their own.

It's been obvious to me for a long time that that's probably the case of people being conditioned to mame and kill others.

I have yet to understand reasons behind it all.

Or maybe there are many others who don't desire to be hated or to be killed, and since them can't avoid the first, they try to not be killed. Recruitment and fight is the result.
