In my younger days a Rolling Stone song “Sympathy for the Devil” haunted me with these lines:
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game?”
Not that I get many biblical references from rock songs, but one cannot
help to be affected from moments,
that come to your attention through
daily events. That we have the evil in us and we seem to Love WAR!
For what War really is, is just a vast open air factory where the hours are long,
unions are not permitted, safety conditions that are routinely flouted and
people’s lives wasted for at times neither Good or Bad! No more people have
died on this planet then they would have died, if they were not killed in a
War. Only future potential of all these individuals were lost!
World War 1 in my opinion started in 1914 but with brief pauses here and there,
The European War ended really IMO after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Then in 1990 – 1991 we started our Middle Eastern Wars proper, for after all
the Middle East problem started at the end of the Ottoman Empire on the 1st
November 1922.
