The End of History by Paul Craig Roberts

The End of History by Paul Craig Roberts
What a cynic he is! We were there to free Libyan citizens from the maniacal grip of the ruthless dictator. Weren't we?

Helen Fisher tells us why we love + cheat | Video on TED.com
What in the world has this video got to do with an anti war theme?

Or perhaps there's more at play that we haven't tapped upon yet.

Now that's a real perpetual motion machine!
