If you do not take your nation to war then you will be less visible in the Media which these days is being hijacked by interest groups to try to make it an international war market. I deeply support and appreciate freedom of expression but to see war making more news than peace is a case of major security concern that worries activists and human rights defenders.
In this world of today
Everything is globalized
Not only commodities are traded
But also wars are commercialized
Produced in factories of poverty
Transported in a medium of information
"Why are you at war?", I asked a leader
He replied to me sternly, saying:
"To live in peace I must be in war
I create myself with the creation of evil
Terrorists of all types are my target
I should either kill or capture them
I must turn every stone to find them
I must own all wars or else I lose all
Globalization of war is an option of safety
A guarantee to expand and stay in power"
and yet, without willing warriors, what leader could wage war? -- in the final analysis,the people of any nation must not permit ruthless leaders to stir them into wanting violence and sending them into battle -- surely the masses have the ultimate say and control -- when the world's warriors decide to lay down their weapons and abandon hostilities, no leader will have any power to wage war -- why do they not realize it? -- may peace and love be always with you Abdi-Noor my friend -- Jon Michael
Few wars would have been fought if the Media (TV, Radio, News papers) had just ignored it. Kidnappings and act of terrorism are giving big spaces which make them attractive to sadistic loonies everywhere.

When war and instability become more profitable than peace and stability, sadly, where then will war ever end? Great poem.
The war on poverty seems to always be short lived and gains attention briefly in a tragedy while the war of thoughts has no bounds and feeds our lust for power and greed in an endless parade of slaughter.
WEIRD RHODY is a short story collection featuring five strange tales all set in Rhode Island and written by five Rhode Island authors. The anthology is a tribute to H.P. Lovecraft, the Ocean State's famed author of pulp horror.
