A Second Implication
Silent Americans are a dependable prop for America's power elite. Silent Americans thus become the accomplices of America's international war criminals. If justice were to be served, should not silent Americans share the blame?
Yet Another Implication
We are all warriors. When America is at war, whether an official or unofficial war, it is being carried out in our name, "America," not in the names of those members of the power elite who actually are responsible for starting and sustaining the war. America's wars, in other words, are our wars, whether we like it or not, whether we are silent or not. When little children are bombed to smithereens by our bombs, we are the bombers. Loved ones who survive blame America.
Why War?
What causes war and is war inevitable?
War boils down to behavior, what people do when they tolerate, promote, prepare for, authorize or execute war. Behavior always has two interacting causes; the person and the person's context, or situations, circumstances and conditions that influence what the person does. By far the most influential part of the context of the corpocracy's power elite is the countless props that it creates for itself. I call them props because they prop up the power elite's power. Without their props the power elite would be powerless and there would be no more wars by them. Not being held accountable for their international war crimes is one of the stronger props. I devote a whole chapter in my book, "911!", to enumerating and explaining all the props, and most of my plan for rescuing America from its power elite focuses on legally and peacefully removing all the props.36
A different explanation of war's inevitability is given by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, a former high-level official in the Reagan administration who subsequently has studied and explained America's corpocracy even more than I have done. He attributes the inevitability of war to the power elite's ideology of manifest destiny of ruling the world.37 While its ideology does indeed influence its resulting war-oriented behavior, singling out and seeking to counter or end any ideology would be futile. Ideologies are strongly held beliefs that have hardened into concrete. Concentrating on eliminating its ideological belief of manifest destiny would be akin to trying to chisel away several thousand people encased in concrete!
