I never said that I "prefer" war. I simply cited Aeschylus' view that war is the normal human condition. (I am currently re-reading Lord Vansittart's 1943 memoir, LESSONS OF MY LIFE. I would recommend it to you, as he much more of a pacifist than most but also argued most convincingly that the only way to avoid war is to be the strongest and nastiest kid on the block. I recommend that you read it. He makes a fine case.) Yes, I would be most sad if I had posted the tripe you did. Wishful thinking and sweet thoughts do not make the world a better place. Please, respond if you wish, and I will give you the last word. I am silent on this topic hereafter as the Saloon Keeper seems more in line with your views than with mine.
