Yes, there IS a theme here. War is the *problem,* not the answer. When humanity discovers this truth and truly embraces it, life will be so totally, radically different we will not know what to do with ourselves. Then we can put our resources towards feeding the hungry, fighting disease, and supporting the arts like they should be supported!
