    @Baldie

    Thanks for the reference.

    I recognize that what I said was simplistic (and that I also spelled "waver" incorrectly ;) ), and your point rings true. American citizens who love war didn't just wake up one day and decide to love war. One is not just born a warmonger like someone is born right-handed or blue-eyed. There must be a culture to support and nurture it. You're right - we've got one here.
