One thing that seems to have been unquestioned throughout this discussion
is the equivalence between "society"'s need for a defense and a government
policy which has resulted in a war. There are often major differences
between the rulers and subjects in the U.S. (socioeconomic, average age,
gender ratio, racial ratio). I don't see any reason for assuming that if the
government wants to fight a war, that this reflects a need of society for
defense.                        -Jeffrey Soreff
