I am not sure that politicians create wars to fix banking problems. While at times it can help. People have been fighting for a long time, for a lot of other reasons. The American Indians fought wars before central banks were around. Wars typically make everyone poorer. Yes, it helps if you can loot gold, crops, cattle or women from a neighboring village, but war is less than a zero sum game. That said. It is also interesting to look at the history of Wars. We go to war about every 20 years. I think that is more of one of mankind's inherent weaknesses.

Have you read Steven Pinker's Better Angeles of Our Nature? Violent death per 100,000 people has gone down significantly in the last 100 years even including WWI and WWII. As we move up Maslow's hierarchy of needs, we understand the value for cooperation of competition. Those who do want to fight wars (usually the sociopaths who get voted into office) must align with banks to get the funding they need. It's a sick symbiotic relationship of greed and destruction.
