Chapter One

WAR IS A RACKET

WAR is a racket. It always has been.


This was written in 1933. Before WW2, before the Bomb, before the
major rise in world Communism, during one of Americas most
isolationist periods and right smack in the middle of the Great
Depression.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
