Short: Manipulated into war

This is great short article about the factors that have leading us into nearly non-stop wars. It's a list of 12 reasons, but perhaps it's not a complete list. For example, it doesn't mention/question our role as policeman to the world.

The most interesting reason (in my opinion) was the last one:

"We are very vulnerable to false flag operations and paid foreign propaganda. Various foreign nations or rebel interests want us to bomb and/or invade their local enemies... Saudi Arabia wants us to destroy Iran, Turkey wanted us to attack Assad in Syria, Israeli (and neocon) hawks wanted us to “rip apart” Iraq..."

So we have both internal and external factions pushing us into hopeless wars. How should we deal with these internal and external factions?
