War is the smoking gun of failed leadership.

There may be just Causes; there are no just Wars.

War is often the culmination of false premises colliding with erroneous assumptions.

We will spend billions to beat them to their knees, then billions more to raise them up again.

Modern warfare is becoming so prohibitively expensive that soon no nation may be able to afford more than an occasional brief incursion; world leaders will then have to pick their wars more carefully. We can only hope!
