More From John Ralston Saul

All american wars (except the civil war) have been fought with the odds overwhelmingly in favor of the americans. in the history of armed combat such affairs as the mexican and spanish-american wars must be ranked, not as wars at all, but as organized assassinations. in the two world wars, no american faced a bullet until his adversaries had been worn down by years of fighting others.
Peace War Fighting
Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars connected with some material interest. they are always disguised as sacred wars, made in the name of god, or civilization or progress. but all of them, or almost all of the wars, have been trade wars.

Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been to much babied. while he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. they are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—society, the state, the government, the commune—must give it to them. let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.

I am firmly convinced that in the world of today all nations will be forced to the conclusion that cooperation for law, justice, and peace is the only alternative to a constant race in armaments-including atomic armaments-and to other disruptive practices that will bring the nations participating in them on either side to a common ruin, the equivalent of universal suicide.
Suicide Race Law
There is a common belief that under modern conditions peace cannot be assured except on the basis of an equal balance of armaments...[but] true and lasting peace among nations cannot consist in the possession of an equal supply of armaments but only in mutual trust.
Balance Belief Common
My aim was to create armaments to protect the borders of my motherland. it is not my fault that the kalashnikov became very well-known in the world; that it was used in many troubled places. i think the policies of these countries are to blame, not the designers. man is born to protect his family, his children, his wife. but i want you to know that apart from armaments, i have written three books in which i try to educate our youth to show respect for their families, for old people, for history.

I met with many of - a number of [syrian] refugees in berlin the other day, and i was struck by how educated, intelligent, and patriotic they are. they want to go back. they love their country. and there are so many of them still in jordan and in refugee camps in lebanon and in turkey, that if you could create the climate within which they could begin to come back, i believe there is such a history of secularism within syria, even tolerance within syria, that if we can deal with isil, yes. that's the key. and with isil there, not a chance.
