Our Gods of Bombs

Wars have no winners – in fact, one can rightly argue, that only losers begin them; their outcomes, medals, a song, a poem – a pat on the back if hands are left, a museum sculpture, some simple stone-words or opulent monument – lasting peace a marble of man's delusions – don't take my word for it... just read our long running history....visit our honored dead, if not for nameless angels, overrun by weeds – we rebuild again and again, our protagonists material makers and their gods of bombs....

Well, I think you and Panagiota have framed the issue well: Some wars are necessary, yet they are only temporary solutions in the long run. Time for the Messiah to appear! :) gw

What you say, is true. However if the monster of WWII, might not have Been stopped, we might all be Nazis And there would be not one live Jew on the planet. China and Russia are vicious. Would you like them doing in all the European continent and us? They kill Ukrainians like dogs? Try Shanghai, where people are starving, Locked in apartments. Wait till the illegals Get over here. Do you remember 9/11? I want a free world. Not be a prisoner. Pangie

The logical thing is to fight against cruel aggression in the name of freedom. Unfortunately, any seeming positive gained through like violence does not last. It is complicated. All such victories will only be temporary, until mankind tames his own soul. We are not any closer than we were 2,000 years ago. We need a better approach. An evil Putin would not be doing what he is doing, if not for the supposed good~Bidden. Innocence the blood between them.

"we rebuild again and again," because we are brilliant: feed the monster calked "modern economy " as with medicalmoractice: managing diseases bring more money than curing diseases or PREVENTING them with common sense habits, or natural meds. "Science," darkness yells, "I want science." Abort! Amputate! Removecwring organ by mistake. Just like losers & their war
