Can we avoid the truth about war and still be honest.
Governments are people, it has always been mans nature to fight wars.
Not just men ww1 saw women, sometimes dreadfully wrong, post white feathers to men, for not fighting.
Now be honest, some of us would go to war if one was declared on the other side of politics.
Or a sporting country or team we do not like, maybe a religion, we find excuses to hate and fight.

And if we did not, if Drake had not set sail against the Amarda? Britain made peace with Hitler?
What if America left Japan to have the Pacific.
Anti war types forget it takes two to fight and two for peace.
But undefended country's do get invaded only faster.
Lets say how wrong this is but not fall in to the fantasy we are the only aggressors here.

There were no big Allied War Criminal trials held after WW2 because we were the good guys.

We can do nine evil things as long as we can point to ten done by the enemy.

That makes us morally superior in every way.

War is what we do. It's what we're good at. We've been doing it from kick off of the species and will do it till something takes us out.

Anyone of you come on my place armed meaning harm and I'll shoot you. Bugger the consequences. It's how we function. We ALL will fight given the right motivation.

I agree St G but get great amusement from those who think not.
Flowers in guns, making male children carry dolls for first years.
Lay down your guns and dance.
Peace is great but can we achieve it by ignoring truth.
If the west, right now lays down its guns closes our armed forces brings it all home.
The happy hippy's, unrealistics, will dance in the streets.
As their throats are cut invaders.
War is a product of humanity's determination to be different.
Culture, Gods, we want difference and it fuel what difference always will , a need to sort out who is in charge.
