Human Nature
I had a funny thought after a friend who is getting his Ph.D. in the study of war told me that war will always be, as it is human nature. Well, there is a fine argument. Some humans also seem to murder, so should we just legalize it and forget the movement towards civil society? Well, after all, the only difference between George W. Bush and the kid who killed a stranger on the street for his sneakers, is the power of his office which grants him immunity for his crimes and the power to order others to kill for him. Anyone who doubts that all these lies come down to excuses for economic power grabs, should read the writing of neo-coms like Wolfowitz, and others who have been George Bush's brain.

We haven't come very far from Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan or Nicolo Machiavelli's The Prince have we?
Lor, I appreciate those who have the courage to say those sorts of things. It looks like the chickens are coming home to roost.
