Quite clearly we need to listen to Smedley.

The statement is certainly accurate. So is occupation by the way, such as the UN's (well actually: several UN member states') plunder of the Kosovo.

Bump. This thread needs more attention.

Maybe I should say instead: "OMG THOSE WHO DISAGREE ARE TEH FASCISTS!111"

Yes, there will be someone who always benefits from war. However, sometimes all of society benefits from war in two ways. The first and most important of these ways is to be warned of the shunning of fairness, morality, decency and the value(my non-sectarian word for sanctity) of human life that led to the war. The other, of course, is what we get in terms of technologies developed during the war, such as radars, nuclear power, universal sufferage, commuter jets and artificial intellegence.
