"War is a Racket"- Definately Check this One

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the
most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international
in
scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars
and the
losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as
something that is
not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a
small "inside" group
knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit
of the very few, at the
expense of the very many. Out of war a few people
make huge fortunes."

When was this written? After "Shock and Awe," two years ago? When we invaded and only secured the oil fields; leaving the Iraqi people that we were there to "liberate," to fend for themselves? Maybe it was right before the war began, a warning about the true causes of Bush's march to war? The answer is 1935, right between two World Wars. It definately applies to our current times though.
