Something to Think About
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)

Sometimes to make peace, you have to make war.

Good quote KB.

Unfortunately that is true, many times peace only comes out of fear of what someone else will do.

The cold war is a good example of that.

That is one reason why most people respect cops, they have a gun and authority.

Without war than can be no peace. Unfortunately that is human nature, peace is a forced existence based on the fear of war.

Although peace is desired by everyone, ff there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.

It's instinctive...war. No matter how advanced one becomes it will eventually show it's face.

Look at every other animal in existence...when they need/want something they fight for it.

The same thing goes for people.

There's a lot of good war quotes out there. Do a Google search on them. Sun Tzu, Winston Churchhill, etc.

Thanks Chrispy but I would rather spend time reading something more meaningful instead of ramblings of a long gone Rambo. ;-)
