How to start a war? Nurture your own latent hungers for power. Forget that only madmen pursue power for its own stake. Let such madmen gain power- even you. Let such madmen act behind their conventional masks of sanity. Whether their masks be fashioned from the delusions of defense or the theological aura of law, war will come.
-Gowachin aphorism
War has come and with it, the loss of any semblance of sanity. We are delivered whatever madness the day requires; delivered from the electronic rooftops throughout a land under siege. Any that speak against it are denounced as traitors, branded as demons, and threatened with extermination.
Bloodlust feeds a frenzy that sacrifices life, liberty and resources on the altar of hubris; an altar dedicated to a despot divorced from reason and compassion. Conceive in fear and forged in hatred, his rages consume the country that elected him and threaten the world at large.
The mask has been removed, revealing the darkest impulses hidden beneath. The face of war mirrors our own.
