The Causes of War…Something to think about
John D. HipsleyJune 23, 2015
These are obvious but are generally
overlooked:
Acceptance of inevitablilty feeds
an insatiable appetite
Faith in force appeals to
power
Momentum of a massive
military
Fear of the ‘other’
The belief produced by the above factors that war, unlike the tango, only takes one. On the basis of that belief, each side must prepare for war as self-protection from another war-maker, but doing so is not believed to be a choice or an action of any kind; rather, it is a law of physics, an inevitable occurrence, something to be observed and chattered about like the weather.
Our war is always a just war
Supreme conceit of corrupted power
“The supreme art of war is to
subdue the enemy without fighting.”
Sun Tzu
