War fraught '

The war to end all wars; has been fought'
Yet the world sum, of peace total
It remains at naught.'

Christ fought it for us indeed. But positive change needs both sides to submit. Like, prayer needs action. Then peace will come.

No war will bring peace if we think we can be peaceful with evil. Evil will not compromise. The very nature of evil is to destroy. Even God ran out of patience with Sodom and Gomorrah.
