(68,352 posts)I will say two wars stand out in our history that ended great evil...the civil war and WWII...now I would consider the revolution and the war of 1812 successful as it drove Britain out. And we can all see how colonies of Britain fared. Now could an alternative method have end this evil. I don't know the answer to that, but we should have tried..now all the other wars, conflicts whatever you want to call them were pointless. There has been no war in my lifetime that obtained anything good. South Korea is a remenent of foolish war from the 50's ...we lost. And it would be the height of stupidity to engage in another pointless war which could cost millions of live this time. War is a 20 century answer to 21st century problems...and we fight such wars with tools that are obsolete...we spend millions on obsolete military shit. We need to find a better way to prevent war before we destroy ourselves.
