> Since more people die in international wars, the majority of people who die in wars die in international ones.
It's all a matter of frequency. How many international wars have you had recently? What about regional conflicts, like Ethiopian troops fighting Islamists in Somalia? Fact is, you get a lot more small-scale conflict on average than large-scale conflicts.
Besides, I don't understand this argument of corporations being opposed to governments. Private interests in strategic areas have worked hand-in-hand with governments to further their agenda (British Petroleum, United Fruit, Shell) or are the armed hand of the government (Blackwater).
