Pacifism is the only way

[Taverner]

You start war, you get war

You start a fight, you get a fight

Stop starting fights, stop getting into fights

What is so hard to understand?

Aggression only brings more aggression against it

[Sotf]

1. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode...

... where Lisa wished for world peace and the aliens took over using boards w/ nails.

All it takes is one to ruin the party...

[Taverner]

2. When is the last time you saw aliens with boards and nails?

3. Did Poland get into a fight with Germany?

That would seem to be a very strange way of interpreting history.

It's the equivalent of blaming a man for being punched in the face because you claim he ran into the other's fist.

4. Sorry, but this is simple-minded foolishness.

War is sometimes an unfortunate necessity. Aggression sometimes must be met with force. I invite you to imagine the world if the UK and US had decided "nah, you know, this isn't worth it" in response to Germany and Japan.

6. this, a sensible reply to a naive and simplistic question

5. The US War of Independence should never have been fought.

A little taxation without representation was not worth the loss of 50,000 lives. America would have gained some sort of independence eventually. And big deal if the Queen would have been on our currency today.
