The Search for War by Norman Solomon http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/86413

"...at the top of Washington’s hierarchy, the yearning is very different. The nation’s decade-long war effort in Afghanistan, where it costs $1 million to deploy one U.S. soldier for one year, is a grisly symptom of chronic war fever. More enemies are easy to find, and even easier to make....A country that’s committed to being at war will treat the real potential for peace as an abstraction."
