Seeing as the war apparently takes place within Commonwealth territory and 
is carried out largely by professional soldiers and mercenaries, that view 
doesn't hold water.

Though I don't see what directing either a fake or real war has to do with 
the man in the sewer. He might represent the antagonists of the New Sun, how 
is FI an antagonist of the New Sun?
