Certainly war has been necessary at times in our history. Certainly war will be needed in the future. But make no mistake, war represents the failure of our species to communicate and act in a positive manner towards one another. If war is your first and last choice to end all the world's problems, not to worry- people won't be around much longer to bitch and moan anyways. . .The necessity of war represents a failure of our species- there's nothing horrible or terrible about embracing our violent nature and failures. . .but ignoring them is childish and stupid.
