                                      Okay guys, so war is...

                                      Picture
                                      Vom Kriege (On War) Original German Edition
                                      ... basically any "fighting" that includes the ORGANISED use of weapons and harmful force between countries or just between groups of people.
                                      But as you realise, war could hurt people on both sides.
                                      Many years ago, a German soldier named Carl von Clausewitz wrote in his classic book, On War: "Der Krieg ist eine bloße Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln [2] ", which means "War is just politics by other means", or for you people who need a "translation" for that, it just means that "War is a way of using force to get our enemies to do what we want them to do" [3]. :)
                                      SO WHY WAR? Well, it's really stupid that wars have been fought over natural resources, for religious or cultural reasons, over power, legitimacy (correctness) of particular laws, to settle arguments about land or money and many other issues [4].  HAVEN'T THEY HEARD OF "SHARING IS CARING"? D;


                                      So I'll just leave you with the thought of this.

                                              And you're very welcome to send me your view on this, right here. :)
