I don't hope for a war. Yes, usually when people talk about a future war, it is because they anticipate it. And because they anticipate war, it means they are just waiting for it, and are not doing anything to prevent it. This makes them war hawks. It means they want the war to come, because they see no other way, and are not willing to accept an alternative.
War hawks make war.
You can call me a war hawk, but you can't say I want war. I know more than most people, in that I know what is worth fighting for. War is a stupid thing. Many people die in war. And in most wars they die for nothing.
