War + war speak + war thought + war mentality = perpetual war

RUMSFELD: That’s what I was just going to say. This President’s pretty much a victim of success. We haven’t had an attack in five years. The perception of the threat is so low in this society that it’s not surprising that the behavior pattern reflects a low threat assessment. The same thing’s in Europe, there’s a low threat perception. The correction for that, I suppose, is an attack.

Because in order to form a more perfect union of paranoia and conflict, any notion of peace must be “corrected”.
