I was looking through the wordpress categories this morning, and there seemed to be a theme. One even asked “War what is it good for?”
One thing that I am sure of, is that the people that hate war the most, are those that have fought in them. That being said, each has also said that it was something that had to be done. It has removed tyrants from oppressing people. King George, and Saddam Hussein come to mind. It has relieved the world of totalitarians bent on destruction or the imposition of their political or religious beliefs. Ever hear of a guy called Adolf Hitler?
Certainly war should be a last resort in all but a few select cases, but it is not at all the evil boggy man that so many these days want to cast it as. It removes the evil more often than not. At least in final battles. The by products of war are also something to think about. Advances in medicine and meteorology come to mind.
So, for those of you that claim that war has no value, I will paint a historical picture; Enjoy your gruel as you watch your daughter being raped by the descendent’s of Genghis Khan, you have faith that Allah will rescue you, a faith that was forced upon you…
