You don't live on the West Coast, do you? In fact do
you live anywhere in the US? This is not the war that
will "improve our lives", which is total BS anyway since
wars divert effort and money from other creative ventures.

What makes you think that today's products wouldn't be
even better if the US economy didn't have to effectively
pay the tax burden of being in a war-like economy for all
those decades since WW2? Creative, energetic people can
do amazing things in the area of product development.

The positive contributions of the war economy are greatly
overstated. I know. I've been there - for many years
in fact, but I am not in the defense business any more.
I can see the differences first hand. What a contrast in
terms of contributing useful products and ideas to the rest
of society.

"I hope it will go further than the so called "saber rattling"
and a little war will go a long way in many aspects.
As sarcastric as it may sound a war now with real and
many losses will be very healthy for the world at large
and the continuation of civilization in it's natural form.

I know many will disagree but if one analyses history,
wars always were refreshing for humans.......like the
natural selection in the animal world."


Wars... refreshing! In the south, we have a word which succinctly captures the character of people of your ilk. You are a "sorry" SOB.

For "sabre rattling," we need two sabres. Here we are dealing with one sabre and one rusty penknife.
