All Warfares are based upon Deception. -Sun Tzu

Thus take heed, ye leaders of nations!

Deceptions are also preludes to wars. Those who you deceive will remember LONG as an "enemy". Strangers and allies alike will turn against your deceptions, and you would have driven yourself into the inevitable state of War!

War is the undeniable result of escalated deceptions upon deceptions.

Wars are just and necessary, when and if the men who fight them know what they are really doing and the real purposes and consequences of their actions will be.

However, I have never met such a just war. Too many wars have been fought for the glories of a few fleeting dynasties of power to make me believe that human beings can ever fight wars with nobility.

Wars, as crisis of fate, bring about the best and the worst in all human beings.

The brutality of killings, the efficiency of engines of death, the courage of comrades in arms, the compassions of a few.

Such are the intensified moments of vastly shortened lives, where the pains and joys of many passing life times are seemingly shrunken into a few battles.

If one survive them, one is nearly driven insane by the experience of this "quickening" of so many lives, overwhelmed by the feelings.

Some are humbled by this. Others feel a sense of "Godliness". But most feel drained of life, and yet full of life at the same time.

Wars are not wrong, but few are truly ready for the responsibilities of wars.

Most men fight and die in wars without ever knowing even the slightest truths of wars.

It is the character of the "Moral people" to turn every nonconsensual act of man legal, ie. slavery, colonialism, imperialism, and every consensual act of man illegal, ie. gun ownership, prostitution, alcohol, etc. For the "moral people" invariably assume that whatever is demanded by the "immoral masses" must be WRONG, and what is refused by the "immoral masses" must be CORRECT.

POE's dark sarcasms:

If any US president had any idea of how to "build democracy", Iraq would have never been taken over by Saddam.

The Government is here to assemble the chaos of 1 country into "reasonable order", NOT to fancifully parttake on the problems of MULTIPLE nations for publicity or feel good.

Irresponsibility and Dictatorship is defined simultaneously by 1 man deciding the fate of another without any fear of consequences.
