You have a favorable perspective and you are correct about much of your claim, though I can't point out where I would argue against anything you stated.

When waging fear of others demonization is required so that war will be acceptable. I recall asking of many elected officials at the start of the Iraq war if anyone had asked cultural anthropologists and sociologists to give some input regarding the people upon whom war is to be waged. I was livid then, numbed by the series of events ever since then but still livid.
