And after we break the military's ability to do its duty we will destroy the national infrastructure. We will strike them again and again. We will bomb their refineries, their factories, their bridges, highways and railroads. We will bring famine and pestilence and poverty and wounding and death on the land until the civilians put pen to paper and bend to our will. That's what war is for.
War is horrible.
I wish it would just go away. Or at worse, I wish, with Woodrow Wilson that we could fight the war to end all wars and be done with it. But my bible doesn't tell me that we're going to find the silver bullet for war. The Serbian savior isn't going to save Yugoslavia from NATO, and the best intentions of NATO's leaders aren't going to usher in a millennium or a century or even a generation of peace. We may solve the present crisis, but unless Jesus comes soon my sons will hear the war clarion just as I have heard it and my father and my father's father and all the fathers before them.
