I draw two messages from this wise remark by Walt Kelly’s little possum.
 
First of all, Pogo is telling us that if we look in the mirror we’ll see that we ourselves are part of the problem.
 
In fact, the war planners and warmongers rely on our money, our bodies, our votes and our consent.

Without us, their whole, seemingly unstoppable war machine grinds to a halt.
 

There is another truth hidden in Pogo's aphorism.

Let's look into the looking glass, and play around a bit with Pogo’s words.

I think Walt Kelly would approve.
