In case you've not noticed, all wars are fought for money.

There is some substance to that quote that wars are fought over money when they are not being fought over religion or land or some other thing but there is even more truth to the fact that vast sums are needed to prosecute wars. You and your ilk are the ones supplying that money and industrial might to our adversary and making war all the more likely. But really, your little quote is once again off topic "free trade" and why in your opinion curtailing unrestricted trade with our future enemy will cause war when just the opposite is more likely. I have given you a list of most of our wars and invited you to highlight which ones were fought over your precious "free trade." Please jump right in there and tell me which ones.
