Yes, the war is going to be long because too many are interested in its continuation. Obviously terrorists and governments enjoy this symbiosis.

What can we do?

Ban all media - that would starve both!

What is required is for the proles, that's you and me, to reject the ridiculous proposition that endless war is, and should be, the status quo.

Endless war is favored by the Capitalist Predators because they can make money from war and gain access to economic resources belonging to other nations, and, of course, it is the darling of many politicians who can use it to big-time themselves.

The Tinpot Fuhrer, Tony Abbott, at high expense, couldn't wait to send our fighter jets and troops overseas where they have had to sit on their hands for a considerable time.

Keith, we, the majority, don't want any war whether short or long. We have been programmed to accept it and we now need to reject it.

We have also been programmed to follow the U.S., the world's biggest warmonger and conflict creator.

It's time for intelligent citizens to reject the war model and, instead, to engage in promoting peace.

The warmongers must be demonized, drummed out of town, held up to ridicule and contempt!

They are anachronisms.

"The warmongers must be demonized, drummed out of town, held up to ridicule and contempt!"

Yes, hear hear.

David, in case you haven't noticed, it's governments and would-be governments who are creating the demand for all the weapons, buying all the weapons, making all the war, and invading all the countries, and trying to get resources in this way.

You appear to have the public totally confused with the private control of the means of production and destruction. You mean *statist* war-mongers, not capitalist war-mongers. You mean *the opposite* of capitalist war-mongers.

Jardine, you apparently think that there is no connection between corporations and the Government. In the U.S. the Corporations largely control the Government as they do here.

You, my friend, are the one who is confused. Citizens and the Peace Movement have three enemies: their Warmongering Politicians, and their Corporate Criminals, and the MSM!

And your solution is more power to the governments?

No! More power to the people!
