Larry, there is no doubt that the Arms Industry rejoiced at Hitler's military buildup just as they are now licking their chops over the India/Pakistan confrontation. The lust for obscene profit generated by killing is only one of the factors that contribute to war, though. Certainly the Pacific theatre in World War 2 was generated by Japan's perception that the West was dominating Asian Markets and exploiting Asian resources. Their declared goal of liberating Asia for the Asians was belied by such actions as the Slaughter of Shanghai, and the ensuing treatment of conquered peoples as slave laborers and worse. Their goal was Japanese domination of the Asian markets and resources, just as Hitler's goal was German domination.

My question remains....how do you achieve Peace in the face of such motivating factors on the side of powerful aggressive states? How do you propose achieving Peace between India and Pakistan, when the hostility is motivated by a thousand years of religion-based hatred? If we dissolve the nation-states and corporations, will mankind, returned to a tribal level, be less likely to make war? Studies of primitive cultures certainly don't indicate that.
