Stonedape is arguing that our cultures glorification of war is brainwashing the citizens of the world into believing war is good or necessary, and that we could theoretically end war by not glorifying it. He sees it as deliberate manipulation of the people by the government. He is wrong.
No I think he is trying to say that citizens are brainwashed into thinking ALL wars are necessary and good like the Iraq war. War is never 'good' but defense is necessary. Iraq is not necessary nor is it good.
'What is war?...In a short sentence it may be summed up to be the combination and concentration of all the horrors, atrocities, crimes, and sufferings of which human nature on this globe is capable' - John Bright
