Good news for Eurofighter

Peace is an unatainable ideal, as 3000 years of recorded history can attest. To believe that converting all of the world's weapon production facilities into Volvo factories and Airbus plants will rid the world of war and violence is a fallacy. Man's inherent nature drives him towards the accumulation of wealth as a means of siezing power, which provides him security. Thus, conflict will continue, be it with tanks, bombs, swords, spears, sticks, or stones.

Economically, few things are as lucrative as military contract. Aside from providing jobs, it ensures military superiority for the country that I live in and its' allies, thus preventing enemies from having me needlessly drawn and quartered, and having my house bulldozed.
