I do not believe that Americans and British instigate wars. Just because the U.S and Brits sell arms...so what, so do many, many other countries around the world. Countries have been going to war with eachother for thousands of years...well before the United States even existed and when England was not a world power.

There are three ways of getting what you want.
1. You can negotiate
2. You can fight and win
3. You can bully others into submission directly or indirectly (using other countries to fight your wars).
1 is the best but its not good for business you will not make money from selling arms and other people or other nations will think that you are a coward.
If they win the wars it will mean access to cheap raw materials including oil from the Middle East and third world countries (Nigeria Venezuala and Congo).

It is about power, greed and what people / government are getting away with while claiming responsibility of peace and obtaining control of its people / countrymen.
The biggest problem is the mentality of mistrust. The first person who screws someone up is the bad guy, but the second person is the sucker who got screwed.
At the end, people begin to fight for the opportunity to take initiative -- to be the bad guy. That's not healthy, but it is the way to survive. Sad.

I think its because we like to be seen as in control and respectable. If there was no war, we would all seem the same; peaceful and cooperative. We make ourselves look better by initiating wars which do not directly concern us. It makes us look like we are helping instead of causing trouble. Therefore elevating ourselves in others eyes.
How can you be sure they do not notice this? They could just be ignoring it as Britain and America are of high status.

BH..."We should accept other cultures as they are and not force our ancient values on the entire planet" what are you talking about? its not america or england that claims that people who arent muslim are infidels and must die! these two countries contain millions of people who are free to believe in any god they want to, we tolerate other ideas and cultures, the muslims,jews, hindus, catholics, protestants, christians all live freely in these countries. the same cant be said for muslim states now can it?
wars have been going on for centuries, regardless of political or financial motives.
america and england accept other cultures as long as they dont fly planes into buildings and kill thousands of innocent people.
who is the most evil here? who is the more inhumane?

BH seems to have got it right. Nobody believes that Israelis are God's chosen people, but the present government in the USA thinks it is and the UK government under Blair is happy to follow.

We don't learn... we can digest the lessons of Somalia, Iraq, Vietnam etc because the military corporations that support and fund our politicians need war to sell their destructive evil.
We people are going for the ride because the corporate media distracts us with stupid shows and pro war 'analysts'

Whenever governments don't do as the fella with the big stick says, he changes the government. Right, wrong or unfair. Might makes right. And he who has the gold makes the rules. The real facts of life!

It is better to fight a battle on the other side of the river rather than wait for the barbarians to be at the gates of the city.
Whether or not you believe the enemy are the barbarians is another question.

dont get me started on that. The british and Americans are all morons and they are also hippocrites! They only "help" or destroy the countries they have a vested interest in. They never do anything just for the sake of it, it is all hidden agenda!
