Yes, wars are immoral,horrible,messy,disgusting,deadly,and often unneccessary. They will occurr with dull frequency, and they are as inevitable as rain. The people that wage them, whatever side you, or they, are on,doesn't matter, because there will be abuses that are often hideous,long-lasting,and without redress. GROW UP. While you are busy hair splitting the wonderful world of ramifications, morals, and justice, you are going to be annihilated. The Jews in Poland, Germany,Lithuania,Russia,etc.were doing just that when the inevitable beginning of the inevitable end came. Your arguments boil down to this. War is bad and conducted badly by bad people. My reply: People are no damned good in the first place! Watch a six-year old lord it over a three year old sometime. Even though you know the six-year old to be the kindest,sweetest person ever, they get a little power, they go nuts, sometimes immediately. So think,if you will, along the lines that they once did in Tahiti. You eat life, or life eats you. Where possible, show mercy, kindness, and love. Where not possible, show them your knuckles, a club, or a gun. Reality.
