> Corporations bribe the right persons, push and influence policy and such, and let the people of a country (or several) fight.
We are coming back to what I said. Governments wage wars, not corporations. Without government involvement corporations are helpless. Government, ultimately, are responsible for military actions and the usage of force.
People wage wars. Whether they use governments, corporations, churches, or other vehicles to do so is a matter of convenience and what is available -- all have been used. If you shift more power to governments, governments will more often be the choice. If you shift that power away from governments, other choices will take over.
"Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people." -- Jawaharial Nehru
Dick Cheney was chairman and CEO of Halliburton Company for five years. They made billions of dollars off of the Iraq war alone. A war that we started under fall pretenses. The public was lied to by the Bush administration in order to line the pocket books of major multi-national corporations. You are absolutely delusional if you don't think that corporations sway the government into starting wars.
You should watch the documentary Hubris : Selling the Iraq War. It's on YouTube for free.

So, I dont see how my statements were wrong.
