[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 774468, member: 2189"] Interesting quote by Leo Tolstoy For me, Tolstoy is speaking of "Nationbuilding" not just in the foreign policy realm but in the domestic realm as well! Randolph Borne said, "War is the health of the State" and IMO it matters not if that war is "war on terrorism", "war on al queada", "war on communism" or the domestic kind of "war on drugs", "war on proverty" or "war on illiteracy" but in any case, the problem is never really solved as it just morphs into another "enemy" so what the state has gained and built is protected and those private interests who have latched on for purely economic reasons can in truth "grow the business" and thus the state's power with it. Once one understands the real nature of non-free market capitalism and how big gov't can't exist without it or vica versa, the whole left/right smoke and mirrors starts to come crashing down. Both right and left coming to oppose nationbuilding and speak out against is IMO just one example of that awakening. [/QUOTE]
