OP-Ed Submission: WHO ELSE HATES WAR?
“I Hate War.” Didn’t someone say that once before, Pat? Indeed, just about everyone that had anything to do with war said it. That is for a few exceptions that loved it. If you are a history buff as Mr. Patrick Buchanan is, those few are easy to spot in the past century. One outfit was composed of a few leaders in Empirical Japan. By golly, its impetus for war was underpinned within a Theocracy as well. How did Japan change? Yes, Pat, change, Theocracy and all. Look it up.
If you take a moment to just look at the 300.000 dead and 300,000 wounded Americans in WW2, Pat may equate this within only a four-year period. This comparative-time-thread weaves through his all his dissertations.
Listen up, Patrick Buchanan, as well as my fellow Americans. We will always be at war! We are still in a cool-war; we are still in a Korean War. In my lifetime, war dominated by the Prussian/Nazi Aryan World Destiny, Communist World Destiny, Empirical Asian Japanese World Destiny, and now, Islamic World Destiny are with us.
The madness of war is the marketplace of the world and we are stuck with the madmen that use it for our demise. If we walk away from a just War as Walter Cronkite prayed for in the Vietnam War, then we would perish from the earth as Abraham Lincoln prayed at Gettysburg, saying:
“It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
