Subject: RE: BS: Armistice Day (debate)
Facts:

Had the nations attacked without provocation by Austria and Germany in 1914 not resisted, there'd have been no war.

Had the nations attacked without provocation by Japan and Germany in the '30s and '40s not resisted, there'd have been no war.

And the lesson we should learn from these indisputable facts is what?


More facts:

If armies unanimously refused to fight, there'd never be another war.

If no one ever joined an armed force, there'd never be another war.

If a rabble never took up arms, organized and waged war for a cause, there'd never be another war.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Hats off to Rap and Jim for their insight and personal courage.
