This illustrates an important point: When left-wing ideologies like democracy and communism are hijacked and perverted by right-wing tyrants, the net result is equally corrosive and dangerous: democracy transforms into fascism and communism morphs into totalitarianism. Neither one an appealing prospect for citizens who look forward to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Another less-than-appealing prospect citizens have to look forward to under these governments is perpetual war. Perpetual war, as Orwell noted, is perhaps the most important aspect of a fascist or totalitarian regime, because without the constant threat of a common enemy, the mass population would not tolerate the other hardships and indignities. Which is why right-wing dictatorships always feel the need to attack other countries, expand their empires, and create enemies within their own State.
So, to answer the question, "Who Really Starts All the Wars in the World?" I think it's safe to say, it's not the Jews, it's not the Arabs, it's not the gays, it's not the liberals, it's not Barbra Streisand or Michael Moore. No, make no mistake about it. The real culprit is the far right wing of any government. It creates the political, social, and economic environment that starts all the wars and lays the groundwork for all the revolutions and acts of terrorism that follow. It has always been this way throughout history, and probably always will be.
And who is running our country today? The Bush administration, the most right-wing administration we've had in the United States since, well, the Reagan administration. And unless we get rid of these goose-steeping, war-loving, propaganda-spewing corporatists in the next election, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
