War!! This is why foolish people, people who command armies, love war. War gives everyone something to do. War means that you follow ‘orders’. And always, the promise: QUICK VICTORY! The hated, hateful enemy (in comparison to our virtuous selves) will be destroyed!!!
And all that happens? People die. Soldiers die. Civilians die. Mothers die. Children die. If only it were short! Human arrogance coupled with real destructive power will kill many, leave no one better off. Survival is the goal.
