War Is Not the Answer?


RE: A Current War - Hamas war against Israel

If War Is Not the Answer, What Is?

[War is, in many situations, the only answer. Of course, you could submit to any dictator or tyrant's request, then you would not have to fight. But ... you should study the history of World War II and Nazi Germany's demands upon Europe. Those that did not want war, and did not resist, became slaves and subject to the persecution of the other peoples and their lust after world domination. Many nations that did resist, were overwhelmed by the Germanic War Machine.]
"Well, excuse me but: duh. Or to put it more politely: there are no solutions to the problem of human conflict that will eliminate the need for force at times, just as there are virtually no large-scale societies that can do away with police or prisons."

"Yes, indeed, war is not the answer to the problems that bring about armed conflict, and war is probably the least benign “treatment” on earth. But when prevention (and our very incomplete knowledge of how to accomplish it) has failed, sometimes it’s the only answer."
