Hey Daddy, Where Do Wars Come From?

I think that I am as guilty as the next fellow in being unable to see how important some things are because they are with us constantly and so they disappear by being familiar. For example, the intelligentsia in America, and indeed the world, keep promoting bigger and more powerful Government as the only way to prevent war and manage the constant strife amongst all people. They could not be more wrong. Government alone causes war, and the bigger and more powerful the Government, the bigger the war and the greater the strife. Free people do not engage in war, Government coerces free people into war. Free people may squabble and fight amongst themselves, but they do not engage in full scale war.
And this leads me say once again how increditible it is that the Founders understood this and created a very limited Government. However, as we all know, that Government has grown so large and instrusive, that it may be impossible to cut it back down to Constitutional size.
So, the answer to the question, Where does wars come from, is, they come from Governments.
