4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I wasn't aware this expression was used so much, but it does seem to be. So, in the end, I have gone along with 'succumb to the logic of'. I like 'fall victim to the logic of' too. Many thanks to all of your for your answers and comments. Sheila"

We should not be tricked into believing in war or power.

If you find a better synonim (a more natural English expression), the better. This is what it means in Spanish.
