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
