Why it is not "our war"
The Power of Narrative
by Arthur Silber
And so we stand on the precipice once again. If it is 'our war,' that is only because we have chosen it -- and because we accept and, in the worst cases, even cheer for the immense devastation that will inevitably ensue. Yes, we have enemies, and yes, we must fight them. But not this way, which is the way we have always done so. For if one thing is absolutely, irrefutably clear at this dreadful moment in history, it is that our conventional and traditional way of fighting these battles and of trying to control and transform the world does not work.
