agreed Baba, war is big business. big money. it is up to we then to make it less profitable for the warmongers.
the bible thumpers also long , thirst and salivate for the final war to end all wars, armageddon, this is why we have religious teachers supporting the imperialist wars around the world, especially the middle east. what can the peaceful people do to stop this madness other than not to join in? as you have written the poor can be coerced by economic extortion.
