Why war
If you're one of the (relatively) many Sun blog readers checking out Richard Elling's ramblings, and saw this article on misuse of the term war, let me guide you to an answer.
Read Understanding Power, edited from a series of talks with Noam Chomsky. In there, you find a pretty good explanation of why if you don't have a war, you need to invent one. (Hint: It's the economy, stupid.)
What comes after the war on terrorism? Why else would we be looking for life on other planets?
