eager for war

Why are the people in charge so eager for war? How do those of without the power to determine the directions of nations have to be victims of greedy people eager for destruction to feed their egos? We deserve more maybe that is why we cling to the hope of god. Who can help us as so many of us are forced to be victims of empire. Will anyone remember us? What can we do to say that the decisions being made in our name are detrimental to our collective humanity?
