Everlasting War

Everlasting war The new normal in the twentieth century is war it has continued without a break a perpetual machine of mass killing, someone somewhere must see war as a business in which every country has a bloody hand. Politicians, the handmaiden for manufacturers of weaponry claim, they only sell the weapon for peaceful means this as bombs fall in Yemen. The Afghan war against the Taliban has lasted 17 years and will not end before all foreign troops leave, but the war continues, and the poppy fields bloom. Many smaller countries in UN see, it cynically, as a training ground for officers and they know well the Taliban cannot be defeated on the battlefield that have no lines of combat against the Peshawar people who fights for freedom, but we chose not to see this. On an island in a bloody river the count not corpses but the money they make.
