>Very discouraging. I thought this stuff started with Bush.....its been going on for over 60 years. And its clear....this is a war loving nation......over and over again we start wars when its not our war to fight. Its worse than I thought.

History is scary and violent in general... I've been reading Balzack lately, and that's led me to researching the French Revolution a bit this evening.

I like to think of liberalism as being able to end many of the world's historical problems, but liberalism (just like conservatism) has a hard time taking hold without a despotic figure. How do we really achieve peace?

Sometimes the warmongers lose. They wanted to keep fighting in Vietnam for 12, 15 or 20 years, but enough Americans got sick of it to end it. Iraq seems to be heading the same way. That may shelve the warmongers until the next generation of them arises, in 20 years or so, when the voters were children when Iraq was going on, and have to learn the lessons all over again.

The fact is, since the A bomb, all wars have been limited, fought with one hand tied behind the back. If you compare casualty figures of wars since WWII with previous wars, they're much more civilized. A good trend.
