The quickest way to end the war is to kill a lot of the other side's civilians since they are the ones who are supporting the armed troops with food and weapons.
Quick does not always mean best. Nuking a country would end a war quickly, but it's a horrible thing to do.

That one is particularly sad; it's been a while since I studied the Assyrian/Babylonian period, but I also believe it couples with the verse where the Judites ended up eating their own offspring.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

The answer can be simple or complex. For the simple people the answer is love.
For the deep thinkers. The biggest governments control both sides. They are beyond the evil that you know of. This allows them to have more money. But how could you possibly ever see if you are blind? How could you ever hear what I am telling you if you are deaf?

A nice Christian ignores the bible, for the most part.

Matthew
Quote:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. Help me Jesus! -miracles are for real people, bitch. Help me Jesus! -well, since you know your place, fine.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
