As it turns out, there are wealthy people all over the world. And in most cases, the wealth is not a product of encouraging their governments to go to war.

And in the USA, the wealthiest people... Bill Gates, Larry Ellision, Warren buffet, Walmart founders, Aple stock holders.... google stock holders, facebook stock holders..... none of these people have any economic interest in having more wars.
