No? No clue or just don't believe it is true?
It is easy to understand. Why peace is a better economic stimulus than war. Can't see it yet? Seriously? You think perhaps the increased activity of the USA Military Industrial Complex provides a better economy?
War is all deficit spending. That's only the beginning. Haven't got it yet?
Come on. This is super easy.
Clue: What type of economy did Former President Bill Clinton perfect?
There ya go. Now, you are getting 'it.' A service economy, right?
So, realizing that now answer the question Why is peace a better economic stimulus than war?
Because it INVITES foreign trade in the way of 'sharing' interests. It invites all kinds of meetings and conferences and what else?
Come on. I know it isn't what everyone wants to think about, they want to hate, but, what does it bring more than any other aspect of economic strategy?
You can do this. Oh, yes you can.
It allows for cultural exchange, TOURISM, and an increase in foreign trade, ie: BALANCE OF TRADE.
And?
Optimism, positive energy and increased trust leading to increased investment on all venues.
Congratulations, you made the 'leap' to Democratic values without even trying very hard.
Why does seeking peace seem so "W"rong in the year 2010?
Because there has been a culture of hate for eight long, war torn years. That's why. What occurred during those years has imperiled the world. The Axis of Evil has resulted in obtaining nuclear proliferation and has sought to increase the impetus to war. So, why would the USA seek to bring Non-proliferation to its venues of foreign policy?
Because when the major powers on the globe resolve to end nuclear threat and annihilation the 'impetus' can be resolved without human tragedy, quality of life increases as economic strategies become stronger.
War is the ultimate 'act' of protectionism and expansionism. The USA never sees itself as being defeated. I remind. During the years 2000-2008 the USA was unilaterally at war while the rest of the nations expanded their economies and grew their quality of life.
The USA is sincerely 'behind the curve' in its economic stability.
