引用 约翰·皮尔格John Pilger的一段话。“反恐战争并不存在，这只是一个宣传词令”
他在2016年拍摄的纪录片《 即将到来的对华战争 The Coming War on China》也是大胆的做出了预测。在灾难的2020年，再次回看，确实是不得不让人有些不寒而栗了。
What leads to war? As far as the movie concerns, it relates closely to the political realism. In the regard of war, the weak seeks for new order, while hegemony sees the instability. What leads us to the war, according to the census from the movie, is the strenuous acquirement of freedom. However, people directly involved in the matter, express otherwise. Consider the plausibility of realism, that every war in civilized ages are generated from rational calculations of interests. How do we justify war? War, masked behind some high-honored slogans like “liberty”, or even more effortless, covered with the hatred generated from revenges, has dominated our minds. But why defense doesn't serve as much as we want? Why should we preempt? Because the one pulls trigger one second later will be the undisputable dead. Knowing that not one single is aiming for the peace, violence becomes the only solution to conflicts. This is a typical Prisoner Dilemma Game playing here. No one wants the worst, but that will not leads to the very best of everyone. In order to grasp a chance of survival, one seemingly has to be sabotage others’ benefits for one’s own. Therefore, hegemony gives us leadership. And leaderships in both military expansion of global security circumstances and economic colonialism process maintain the hegemony. Some have interpreted the reason going to Iraq war was simply due to the oil under the ground. The wants of having a war is simple, while the difficult part is the convincement of the public. Hence, it leads to the topic of how and why the US became a defense industry. This is a defense industry, which we are all involved in at some level as a living person on the current American land. As Eisenhower warned the nation, military industrial complexity and the following unauthorized utilization of power would become dreadful crises. From the frontline of Iraq War to the army boots sewing company, from the missile killing hundreds of men in a blink to the recruitment of a homeless young man, from the humanitarian protests to the legal corruption of military industry, Americans are caught in the meddle of the industrial complex as predicted decades ago. Pentagon needs to maintain the popularity of war, and politicians realize that they could dominate the argument of war, of violence, of killing and death as much as they want. Even if the US is proud of being the freest land, such media orientation is so easily manipulated. After the enthusiasm of attending war fades as time flies by, people start to ask the government, and themselves as well, why we fight? Through the lasting pain from the tragic 9/11, to the strategic rearrangement of military force, American people haven’t stopped bleeding. Neither did the people in many other areas, especially some occupied by American troops. I want to end the essay with a quotation from Frodo’s last words explaining why he left the middle earth, “Some hurts go too deep…that have taken holds.”
了解西方历史的都知道，殖民是西方国家发展的永恒模式。从古希腊到罗马到西班牙葡萄牙到英国法国到希特勒莫非如此。美国的殖民是经济殖民，即资本化的殖民。如果说英法是老式殖民（占领土地和移民）向新式殖民（掠夺资源和经济）的转变，纳粹是一次殖民倒退，那么美国彻底完成了殖民形式的转换。
实际上，中世纪是西方唯一一段没有殖民地的历史。

片子在快接近尾声的时候，黑底白字的打出来的数据触目惊心，写着：在伊拉克战争开始的6各月内，美军共投放50颗precision skystrikes（军火商称命中率极高,并且能将周围损失减小到最少的smart missile），0颗击中目标，即伊拉克的领导层。死亡的90%为平民。
真正让美国人愤怒的是政府掩盖真实的战争动机，操纵了民众对战争的看法。媒体也未起到check&balance的监督作用，单方面听取了政府对战争的说辞。这让美国对长期以来引以为傲的民主系统产生了强烈的动摇，对于capitalism对democracy的侵蚀的论调得到了再一次印证。但对于别的国家的人看来，只能说对权力的完全信赖是民众的天真。
