Leaders who take us to war - who almost never end up on the front lines themselves - they are safely tucked away in their dining rooms in their government houses some place far from the action - - sending others to their deaths and destruction somehow, humans need to cut them out of the chain

Rare to see such crap. Do the aboriginals still own and control all of Australia? Just one example. Who the winner is has a big bearing on what happens down the road. Sometimes original teriitories are restored but sometimes not. Just look at India/Pakistan or North and South Korea. The 'reservations for Indians of various tribes in America.... compared to their prior status and choices of where to live.
