War- What Is It Good For?

[Honeycombe8]

11. The country wouldn't exist w/o war. Therefore, he wouldn't exist, or you and I. War IS necessary.

Because there are some brutal, greedy people in the world who would just as soon kill you as you look at you. If you don't want that to happen, whether you are an individual or a country, you go to war. If you don't, you cease to exist. Gaul no longer exists, pre-Britain - gone, Rome - kaput. They fought wars to try to prevent their being wiped out, but they lost. Had they not fought at all, more lives would've been saved, but those countries would've been wiped out just the same.

War is part of life on Earth and the human existence. It exists in the lives of every creature on earth, including man. Chimpanzees go to war...apes go to war. It is neither good nor bad. It is necessary to protect ourselves. Or we cease to exist. It's that simple.
