(Without an eternal war many unemployable people would be without jobs.)

Yes, post Iraq we will have the War on Poverty, Part 88.

OT

If you want to be clinical about the situation, eternal war does have the good feature of strengthening the gene pool (on a relative basis).

True, like the Eternal War On Drugs

That also keeps loads of people employed: cops, guards, drug-dealers, drug-smugglers, politicians, media pundits. Without it the price of drugs would collapse and these people would have to look around for alternative employment. That might be dangerous. These folks tend to be armed.

We need more such wars!
