Jeremy Scahill and Noam Chomsky: The Truth About America's Secret, Dirty Wars

33. In America support for war is a religious belief

If you are pro-war or pro-invasion you are part of the war religion. It's not built on reasoning, historical facts or an honest motivation. People support it because they feel more comfortable living in a comfortable lie than they would if they were forced to take responsibility for the MILLIONS murdered so that America can maintain global dominance. People ignorantly say and most likely believe we are spreading democracy(which is rarely true, and when it is, is of little practical consequence considering human rights abuses continue or worsen) It is no different whatsoever than believing nations should be invaded simply to convert them, not different one bit. Our dollars are used to kill, torture and deprive under both Republican and Democratic candidates.
Meanwhile few see the facts as they stand, and are often chastised for voicing their views.. Few understand war is a result of a HUGE arms/energy lobby and the power they wield combined with an ignorant, arrogant greedy legislature(with few exceptions Bernie Sanders, Alan Greyson and on the war issue Ron Paul)
I find it baffling that the same people who rightly want to restrict the ownership and use of dangerous deadly weapons also avidly support war, as long as a democrat is at the helm. ABSOLUTELY BAFFLING. It's no different than a conservative pro-lifer supporting the death penalty, 100% hypocritical!
