In these times troubled by constant growth of state power and with many an interventionist resident on this board I thought I'd share Randolph Bourne's timeless, anti-interventionist and anti-militarist essay.

It is called War is the Health of the State and deals in particularly with the effects of war on the domestic power of the state and its ability to make society more totalitarian and critical of dissidents.
