I am not a pacifist, as I believe there are certain situations (like true self-defense) when violence is necessary. But if war were truly the solution to the problems they are supposed to solve, would not the hundred and hundreds of previous wars have already solved all these problems?

Unfortunately, wars do serve to distract the population from its own domestic problems, employs some of the youth temporarily, and creates profits for those who build the weapons, rebuild what the weapons have needlessly destroyed, and of course those who help finance the whole escapade.

We cannot preserve our own liberty by destroying someone else’s.
