Going along with some of the previous posts, particularly
post WWII but certainly in many societies prior to that, there was in some ways a great
pressure from industrial investment in the production of war material for it to be
used. You couldn't ask industry to switch from peace time to wartime production and
then suddenly have the war stop. What would happen to all that equipment and
investment?
This gets long in the conspiracy department,
but if you don't believe that powerful wealthy corporations and indivudals influence
government decisions...
Along with this is a huge part of
what the previous post says. In order to maintain control, an outside enemy is very
helpful in diverting attention away from domestic problems. People put up with the
idiocy of airport security theater because we are told that if we don't terrorists will
rule the skies.
