As c’mon Sowell in the first half of last century we were at war in Europe. In the second half we were at war in the Pacific with war in Korea and then Vietnam. In this century we have started with war in the ME and Africa. Straighten out your glasses and see that it is government operators who want war not the people.
Presidents who want to be a war-time President without a formal Congressional declaration but with some work-around and a Congress answering to lobbyists. The will of the the people is manipulated - they are making atom bombs - they cut off heads - they violated UN resolutions - they shot at our planes in the no fly zone.
Forgitaboudit Sowell, we’re going to war whether we want it or son.

1990: Saddam needed cash and retaliated for stolen oil, and false testimony about incubators getting unplugged got us into Kuwait.
1964: Gulf of Tonkin incident unclear, so Congress gave LBJ a blank check for Vietnam.
1941: Diplomatic information wasn't adequately shared with commanders in Hawaii, so we went into war in Japan and Germany.
1917: Zimmerman telegram was used as pretext for "war to end all wars" and Congress voted to enter into WWI.
1898: Explosion of USS Maine blamed on attack, result was war on Spain.
All claims led to official US policies obliging military and taxpayers to support a war, based on questionable pretenses: See a pattern here?
