We fight wars to preserve peace,
is that a contradiction?
War is horrific,
Media can't define it properly!
Cameras can only take picture,
of the ravages and aftermath of war.
The devastation of land,
total destruction of property,
refugees abundant,
People fleeing if only to save their lives and the children,
body count innumerable, horrible!
Especially the loss of children lives!
A couple of days ago a child-
in Syria was pulled from ruble alive!
Five year old boy picture in shock,
posted all over the internet,
for our demising world to visualize!
Not only to see but judge,
and come to the conclusion,
that war is horrific!
Perhaps the explosive energy.
used to start conflict and wars,
could reverse itself,
and find peaceful solutions,
other than the desolation,
and devastation of war!
OH, MICHAEL, YES! THE ATROCITIES OF WAR ARE UNBEARABLE TO HEAR LET ALONE, SEE! THE PICTURES ARE BAD ENOUGH BUT IN ONE MIND'S EYE TO VISUALIZE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENING IS SO DEVASTATING...SOMETIMES I JUST HAVE TO STOP. BUT WHAT IS REALLY SAD IS THAT THE ONE THING WHICH COULD SOLVE THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS IS COMPLETELY REJECTED, OVERLOOKED, REJECTED AND CAST ASIDE; LOVE! THAT ALL IT TAKES. IF EACH PERSON ALIVE WOULD ADHERE TO THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS; (MAT 22:37-39) FIRST: LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART, MIND, AND SOUL AND SECONDLY: LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS(NATIONALLY AND INTERNALLY)AS WE LOVE OURSELVES... THERE WOULD BE NO WARS. THAT'S ALL IT WOULD TAKE AND YET, SEEMINGLY, MANKIND PREFERS WARS TO LOVE. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATION.

There is a way to end war. The simple approach of nonviolent protest. Perfected by Mahatma Gandhi when he got the British to leave India without war. Used later by Martin Luther King to begin to get civil rights long unavailable to those of color in the United States, and by Nelson Mandela in South Africa to end apartheid and transform African states. Dictators can't rule when people peacefully rise against them.
“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
