    Why is there no anti-war talk today? How come Ant-War doesn't appear on mainstream media services. Are there even people who are anti-war? The answer is yes. And you can find them in places like antiwar.com and TheAmericanConservative.com. But why isn't anti-war advertised more?    

    

    This is because Anti-War is "Good for few, bad for most." Some like war because of the increased employment and production it brings while other look at it and see the countless lives being lost that most don't even bat an eye at and the destruction of physical and human capital.

    

    The benefits from war believed by by those who are not anti-war and really not as great as they think they are. Some seem to believe that war gives the economy a boost by raising the employment rate. Those people who are now employed will start spending more and this will boost the economy.  But actually , this increased business will cause the retail spaces to hire more help, which will cause unemployment to drop even further. Countries involved in war are not getting an economy boost because that money people are spending would have actually been spent eventually somewhere. We don't need a war for people to start spending their money. 

     

    We never really hear about the anti-war movement in mainstream media because it's against what the government wants. The government doesn't want everyone to be anti-war because that would ruin their plan if everyone was against their ideas; it wouldn't be as easy to execute. They want and need everyone on board, and it's for selfish reasons. War brings death to many soldiers and really does not improve economy as everyone believes it does. 

    

    We must do our own research and not be naive to believe that the government has our best interest in mind. Not everything the government does it right. Read up on war and its effects, and make a personal decision. What do you believe is right? Just because the government agrees with war, doesn't mean you have to too.
