It's the basis of their positions of power, of how they understand the world; it's their raison d' etre. I'm sure for many of these people the possibility of peace is seen as a personal threat.
I agree, Bush would not be president if it weren't for his scare mongering duuring his first term in office. Problem, reaction, solution.
