paul simon once had a song called "50 ways to leave your lover." there is 50 ways or more to start a war. once the europeans fought a war because a pirate cut off a man's ear and that plunged two different nations into war for years. at another time, a murder was committed, a man was shot, one man, only one man. he happened to be the arch duke ferdinand and that was the origin of world war i. there are all sorts of ways to perpetrate a war. the 100 year war left england and france penniless. the simple reason is that it takes an effort to build a school, almost no effort at all to blow it up and same thing is true of anything that you can create. so wars destroy and very often they destroy the countries engaged in them. when america starts a war, when america is involved in a war, we are so strong, so powerful that the only way to end a war is for us to end it. there is only one way to end the war that america's involved in and that's for us to decide as a country, enough is enough, we're done. we spend more on our defense than all other countries
