'For The Traitor Appears
Not A Traitor...'
5-24-2
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." --Cicero, 42 BCE

James Madison On Continual War
5-25-2
"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended. Its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war...and in the degeneracy of manners and morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
--James Madison, April 20, 1795 (Works. Vol. 4, Pp. 491-2)

THE PAKISTAN-INDIA CONFLICT IS BEING FUNDED AND FOMENTED BY THE SAME FACES THAT BROUGHT YOU THE WAR ON TERRORISM
The bin Laden-Bush monster defense contractor The Carlyle Group, which just happens to be making a mint from the war on terrorism, stands to reap enormous profit from any India-Pakistan conflict, because it has direct ties to the companies (BAE) and intelligence agencies (CIA) that supply both war machines!
