But that's how representative republics work. If someone has an attitude where they're likely to go to war over things and that person is voted in, in essence, the people who voted for that person voted for whatever wars they get in. Obviously it's not a direct voting thing where we specifically vote to get into this war or that, but again, that's how a representative republic functions. You vote in the person that most aligns with your values in the hopes that when they get into office, they make the same decisions you would. It's not perfect, but it's better than direct democracy.
