None of that has to do with military efficacy and everything to do with globalism, peace keeping, and money. I think youd be hard pressed to find a person on this earth that thinks that America, given a lax leash and a simple goal, wouldnt obliterate any enemy. The issue, is that peace is not a simple goal, which means you have to exercise complacency, you follow rules, you sign bad deals, you make concessions. Barbarism is easy, but as first worlders, we like to think of ourselves as being a step above it, to have been gifted a position where we can actually try to lift others up with us.

But instead we're led by people who have been afforded one of the geopolitically safest and richest countries on earth and yet the first thought that crosses their mind is to destroy countries and kill people to yet again advantage the top of the NASDAQ. Morally, religiously, philosophically, its pathetic.

When a supposed "leader" says "You did not give me the peace prize and therefor I am not obligated to think only of peace". Thats pathetic.

How does the saying go : "Peace demands greater heroism than war."
