Robert Fisk: This is not about 'bad apples'. This is the horror of war

And loose the dogs of war.

We don't win wars. We survive them. These recycled words are the best we've got. If politicians had ANY idea of the horror they release. The lives they ruin. The carnage they ensure. The inhuman behavior, the debt, the fucking dead end... But no we invoke outrage as the slivers of reality work out.

Decisions will still be made on an economic basis. I'll do it. You'll do it. And the beat rolls on. Our society, along with our leaders who reflect us, will not change one iota as this, and future atrocities work their way to the bottom of the bird cage. The technology will improve. Our money insures it.

Whether for God, or oil, or manifest destiny. War is the reality we face as a race. Would a behavioral root cause analysis be useful? Nope...been done. Even understanding the need to dominate or destroy, doesn't eliminate, or even mitigate it.

Hey! There's hope! Let's hope that human nature changes. OK Group photo! Everyone smile!
