One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
The thing about world peace is that it's only ever going to be achieved via compromise and concession. There is no compromise and concession in demanding other nations drop their weapons while you develop even more powerful ones.
The war on terror is nothing less than a thinly veiled capitalist aggressive expansionist policy designed to assume control of the planet's dwindling resources and enslave the masses with perpetual debt.
After ww2 it was promised, as poppies grew on the graves of the fallen, that never again would the balance of power be allowed to shift so grossly in favour of one nation. The 21st century is setting itself up to remind mankind that it's greatest failing is an inability to learn from it's past mistakes.
