The many faces of the anti-war movement

Forget about all those false political lines drawn from left to right.  The only standard valid to judge a war is if it is being waged to protect your own personal well-being.  National security is a myth.  The struggle has since the beginning of time been between the lone individual and the all powerful coercive state.  Even among families, clans and tribes, mutual self-interest can be vague or conflicting.  When it comes to real security from a more brutal adversary, the administration of any government attempts to sell the concept that you have a civil duty to come to the defense of the State.  Most of the tragic record of history is based upon the absurd notion that dying for country is noble and killing the latest enemy is glorious.
