LIve from Gitmo.....
The trials and executions will happen without us.
We will learn and watch, read and hear later when it is time,
The average person is not strong enough to handle this.

Although it is concerning because I have a feeling that a better life for your kids and war are inextricably linked.

Why do we have democracy and liberty? Because officers and footsoldiers were shelled by the same guns.
Who do we have post-war prosperity? Because war has killed the surplus population and war causes everyone to "live down" to build better tanks, and then after the war these better tank building skills become washing machines.

The last of which is a defence of how much America spends on its military. A lot of that spending is R&D the boom of the 1990s is linked to the military debts of Reagan. War like capitalism makes the world more modern, both do away completely with what is old-fashioned and it's ironic that the one thing such a society will not be is conservative.

And I also believe that a lack of war creates people who are easily triggered. Democracy is linked to shared suffering and mass mobilisation creating the sense that we are all strong people. The view of the general public as trustworthy and strong is what prevents individualism/democracy from imploding into strongmen figures like Trump/Putin/Erdogan who rule for your sake.

The post-war belief in "we are all strong people" is what made it so people felt they could sit down together and make an informed choice, plan the days ahead. The assumption is that people are patient and reasonable.

This assumption goes eventually replaced by unpredictable leaders. A leader who rules through force of confidence and personality with the quality of political and intellectual debate reduced to deflection and gainsaying. Confidence, enthusiasm and fanaticism replace critical thought.
