War is generally defined as armed conflict between nations, but it is individual human beings who do the actual murdering and the dying. War is one man murdering one woman, one woman murdering one man, one man murdering one man, one woman murdering one woman, one child murdering one adult, one adult murdering one child.
War is one human being murdering another human being.
Whatever the stated causes of war, the truth is that it is nothing more than the sacrifice of our children. It is our children who we allow to be murdered in war and their families must then live with an inconsolable sorrow. War is the result of frustrations in a society that comes to believe that there is no other solution to a particular social problem. No nation goes to war with clean hands. No nation murders on the battlefield with justification.
