- It's our number one export.
''The primary aim of modern warfare is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact.''
~George Orwell, 1984
''Every war results from the struggle for markets and spheres of influence, and every war is sold to the public by professional liars and totally sincere religious maniacs, as a Holy Crusade to save God and Goodness from Satan and Evil.''
~Robert Anton Wilson, from "Searching For Cosmic Intelligence"
''If armed force is a monopoly, it can not only be used to protect vested interestsit can also be made to turn a profit. Since Adams wrote the Law, manipulation of international conflict has become a fine art.''
~John Whiting, The Economics of Human Energy
