Peace and love are nice and all but no real society could survive like that
Enemies
on every side wait to take advantage of any sign of weakness on our
part
The
golden rule is just a suggestion you know...kind of like the posted
speed limit
Always
be ready to do unto others again, worse than they might do to you
After
all, god so loved the world he sacrificed his only begotten son
Thus,
we so love our country that we sacrifice not only our children but
their futures
Where,
in the end, is the profit in making peace, when, after all, war has
proven to be good business
But
we can surely talk beatifically of peace while investing in our
military options
Peace
is just what feels so good when the killing pauses...momentarily
Peace
is only a fleeting and fuzzy happy-ever-after mirage and certainly
no way of life
Compare
and contrast the Manhattan Project with the League of Nations
Peace
is for the out-of-touch and the dreamers; now war, war is for we -
the mover and shakers
Peace
won’t do it because there’s nothing there that we can sink our
teeth into
It’s
just those brief intervals when we are too weary from rebuilding to
fight - For a while
Peace
is not democratic because all nations would have to adopt it
War
is totally compatible with our economic and theological social
Darwinism
Any
so-called peace dividend is automatically re-invested into more new
instruments of death
How
could our noble leaders motivate us without threats of monstrous,
child-eating bogeymen?
Peace
is for eunuchs and grandmothers but war is for all the real men who
thrive on red meat
We
must perpetually be destroying the world in order to overcome the
next evil human threat
Some
vague love of peace did not fuel our rise to dominance over the
savage beasts
Such
navel contemplation did not even prepare the fields or control the
river’s floods
Which
young men will seek glory in eradicating poverty, ignorance and
suffering?
Would
any of our political royalty then declare and fund massive wars on
war itself?
Would
brave paratroopers happily drop down amidst the fighting armed with
cash donations?
Maybe
the air force could rain consumer goods upon the combatants from far
above
Right,
and international disputes could be settled by which side hosts the
largest potlatch
Peace
won’t do it since peaceful co-operation is so very much harder than
violent disagreement
But
we need to keep the image of peace always in our heads in some
nebulous floaty abstract
That
way, rumor of its imminent arrival will always excuse our current
foolish slaughters
But
peace won’t keep the enemy from wasting our lands and killing our
children
Peaceful
societies would be warmly welcomed by those seeking further evil
empire
Anyways,
quietly spreading domestic tranquility doesn’t make for pump and
thump breaking news
Peace
will not protect our sacred borders and just makes them more likely
to attack us
Peace
can be laughed at, spat upon and easily kicked in the face, down into
the mud
For,
the hypocrisy of peace is that if we really want it we must always
be ready to got to war for it
