Letter: War, bloody war

Editor,
Nearly every one of America’s wars were for some kind of trade advantage or money or for territory or oil — which of course were always fought under different excuses, even as far back as the Civil War. They are trying to pull a compromise by replacing the American soldiers with Gulf War II, and keeping the war running to maintain the sick economy. So Big Business continues to produce war toys, well-lubricated with the blood of human sacrifices, as usual. “The Endless war” — Neoconservatives are wanting empire and, of course, the war on Iraq and Afghanistan! They are arguing that international law has little validity and only gets in the way of American objectives. For them America is so strong, it can safely ignore other nations’ national interests and “go it alone.” It’s a sad tale!
