It is called common sense, and is built entirely of life experience. Unfortunately, many citizens' common sense accounts currently sit untouched in some cosmic unclaimed property division. Proponents of the war are currently dusting off a script of time-tested government lies and obfuscation to justify the conflict.

This war is already underway, but we still hold the power to refuse further escalation, or cease it altogether, before we trigger global economic calamity … or something far worse.
