      War-mongerers and  militarists are often  much  like 
religious   fundamentalists.   They  denigrate the  people 
whom   they   have   feared  ---     into   being    their  
labelled-enemies.       They   teach  their   thoughtless-
followers    to  internalize  paranoidal-fears,    labels,  
denigrations,     and distorted-images  of the  nature  of 
their enemies ---  whom they have thus conceived. 

      War-mongerers,   militarists and religious fundamen-
talists   are   often  almost  totally  ignorant  of   the 
characters  of  the  individual  people  whom  they   have 
alienated themselves from.   They play on the ignorance of 
their followers  to teach their thoughtless  followers  to 
denigrate strangers to the point that they will in-fear be 
willing to dehumanize and kill people about whom  they are 
totally ignorant --- except for the labels which have been 
pasted upon them by war-mongerers, militarists and fearful 
fundamentalists. 
      
      Any  careful scholarly study of  war-time-propaganda 
in  the news media of nations at war will reveal the  ways 
in    which   war-mongerers,    militarists,     religious 
fundamentalists, religious-terrorists, and related violent 
people are trained to do the bidding  of  crazy people who 
have lost their minds in  the gutters and sewers which are 
full of fear. 

      To   protect   ourselves   against   the    horrible 
destruction  into which war-mongerers,  militarists,   and 
fundamentalists are  prepared  to  lead us ---   we   need  
to   become   well informed  about people in all parts  of  
the  world;     their languages,   histories,    cultures,  
hobbies, games,  songs, etc.    We need to get to know the 
potential "enemies"   as unique  individuals  like us;  so 
as  to protect  ourselves against  the   ignorance   which 
war-mongerers,  militarists,  and fundamentalists will try 
to pour into empty minds.   It will be harder for them  to 
pour ignorance into minds which are not empty;  but rather 
than full of  reliable knowledge about real unique  people 
around the whole world.
