    when enough people decide to stop volunteering to kill for the State we might just see a State less willing to wage war.

    Or they can just draft people when they run out of volunteers...and no one wants that. Even some European countries have manditory enlistments or year or two of public service. I'm sorry you need a military, even as horrible as war is.

    When enough people decide to vote and take an active part in the political process, we might just see a State less willing to wage war. What ever direction this country takes, you will need a military, now the choice is on how you use it.

    One of my closest died last year during a mission in Iraq .....

    The worst thing is that he never understood what he was doing there, that's it, a war with no reason.

    I am truly sorry for your loss. May your friend rest in peace.

    This war is a war with no reason. It does need to end and soon.

    Seems there is very litttle correlation between the political environment within a country and its foreign policy-I would say none.

    Wars are waged by the poor for the rich.

    Can you go into a little more detail as to why you think that?
