Even in the democratic society of the United States, a very very small percentage of its people choose to go to war when the time comes.
But when blamed for the death and destruction of thousands and by extension the recession of the world economy as a whole, The Democracy replies with a simple, "you picked us... we just follow the rules".
So we blame the rules, but unfortunately, they were written by the people, for the people.
In some ways, every American crying out for change is a bit of a hypocrite.
The Settlers needed change. So they created it.
The Declaration of Independence
The Constitution of the United States
Nomadic tribes do not live as well as the modern American, at least from our founding fathers' points of view.
I am in no way criticizing President Elect Obama, nor any of his supporters.
I just find it somewhat humorous that the people attempting to end the war, have the same mindset as those who created the power to start it.
What do we do?
Well... we need to change of course.
Maybe we'll get lucky this time.
