Adapting to realities of post-Cold War era

The end of the cold war has not ended war or military expansion and spending. We have been in a constant state of war preparedness since the end of World War II. Governments have learned nothing from the suffering of millions from East Timor to Iraq to Yugoslavia. Developed countries not officially at war participate in killing, not only by involvement in other's wars, but by supporting subsidized selling of arms and military equipment around the world.
