And Wyrd of Gawd is too stupid to understand we are not a separate species. Having war to gain peace is like fucking for virginity. Anyone who thinks like this should not be trusted with power. While war does happen, it should not be a default or considered an act of diplomacy.
No Wyrd of Gawd, not everyone is a fighter or a legitimate target moron. That is what the Geneva Conventions were about, to say no to the asshole actions of Hitler and Stalin and Imperial Japan. I find it fucking sick that the gung ho assholes rightfully claim the west is better with human rights, and we are, only to say stupid shit like WOG.
War is an unfortunate part of our species, and yes it is hell, but that does not mean blanket solutions are good policy.
