Absolutism
The belief that there is one and only one truth; those who espouse absolutism usually also believe that they know what this absolute truth is. In ethics, absolutism is usually contrasted to relativism. this is what are country wants us to believe when it come to policy on war. that their is only one truth.

I'm not sure all of us believe that one truth is the only necessity for our war policy. Instead, it was the action of the government, using a single, powerful truth, that utilized this single truth policy towards war. Before we went to war with Iraq our nation was still under heavy worry of another attack on the scale of 9-11 and due to this fear we were very vulnerable. The government used this vulnerability to exploit our emotions and fears that we could be attacked again. So, the government said that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and presented a serious threat to the US. And because of our vulnerability that single truth is all it took to go to war. So, I think only in the few instances of the War with Afghanistan and Iraq have that statement proven true.
It would be fair to say that one entity equally exchanges for the power of another. Yet, in this capitalist centered economy it doesn't play out.
Most transactions take place along a constricted width in which the true value is compromised to fit the picture and give dimension to the conservative hand.
Capitalism thrives on that which we give it, like fuel for a fire, even our educational realms, our environmental productivity licenses the fastidiousness of the economy, like a bulldog on a chain.
I do agree with your model, the same way I concure with a direct link to the purpose of exams in the theory of labor contracting.
