There are evil forces. We need to protect ourselves. We need military. However, it is naive to think that we, as citizens in a democracy, have any say in the wars we engage in. If we have no say, who does? If we have no say, is the one who does accountable to us? If we have no say and the one who does is not accountable to us, then is this a democracy? Too much power in the hands of too few. We sacrifice our hard earned money, our kith and kin... so that a few psychopaths can stroke their egos.
