The perpetual War...and the perpetual eludible Peace
By RF Schatten Contrary to the belief that it's a good thing to continue a war, till one side, stops continuing to exist...there's no "Good War"...they, stop existing after WWII, as Studs Terkel elegantly wrote. Ever since then, all we've had, are wars for profit...Ike warned us of the Military Industrial Complex, and Kennedy got suckered in.
