It is one of the most fatal illusions that, by substituting negotiations between states or organized groups for competition for markets or for raw materials, international friction would be reduced.

These films depicted the shattered homes, the killed and grieving civilians and the infrastructure chaos our armed forces are creating daily.

Phallic identity is real and it must be destroyed. Female masochism is real and it must be destroyed.
