15. Permanent war in the ME is really, really good for a very, very few .

Really, really bad for everyone else. Sucks to be everyone else. No matter, naive young people will always sign up to do the bloody work if they can be convinced they are on the side of the righteous. The profits will flow, and KEEP flowing as long as war is alive.
As long as we can be convinced that we are under constant threat, the job is done. Goebbels was so right. The New World Order is 0.001% of mankind in absolute power over the chemically conditioned, population modulated, absolutely subservient others for EVER. Or at least until one of the religious fantasy heroes magically appears from space to change it.
