WAR has two benfits;political, and economical(wether hot or cold).politicaly; the ordinary people nowhere like the war because it neverbenefits them,but what it does,it creates an outside enemy(wetheryou have a democratic,dictatorship,autorian,facist,or whatever govndoesn't change this) and it puts the finger on and rises nationalistic feelings people have toward that enemy and away from domesticproblem that country is facing. Economicaly; it is a temperaly solution,it militerlaizes the economy(money go to big lockmartin who by theway established the american enterprice instu,rapeyan...on the govnbarrowing and on the expense of tax payers. in another ward moneygoes from ordinary people to the very rich 1%).it improves the economy and unemployment (during wwII unemp was zero) of course in the absent of a true enovation like rail,automobile revoultion where road,steel and ... industries grew during frank rousvelt and john kane theory.there are no historical ineovation insight,and there is no more land to concour,so war is becoming thefasion and the solution these days. from george canon of cold war tosamuel huntington war of civilization.history shows it is a temperlypatch and we see now global terorist and islam's extremeist are newenemy.and we see again the bush admins.preapring sround russia,and yet another war.
