multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.

War is an invention of the human mind. The human mind can invent peace
with justice.
-Norman Cousins
War is capitalism with the gloves off and many who go to war know it but
they go to war because they don't want to be a hero. It takes courage to
sit down and be counted.
-Tom Stoppard
War is destructive. The idea that you can do something constructive with
war is becoming this facile, dangerous, intellectually lax political
interpretation of military counter-insurgency theory.

Maddow

to satisfy the people they misrule.

surprised that everyone has lost.

Hemingway
