The United States of Perpetual War

"When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them then he is always stirring up some wary or other in order that the people may require a leader."    — Plato

We need to get beyond this so our leaders can't manipulate situations and so we don't find ourself in a literal, perpetual state of war, which is where we seem to be right now. 

We're smarter than this. 

Or we should be, anyway. 


Again, enjoy your Sunday.
