A Brief Philosophy: The Ultimate Problem With War - 7/4/10

"The ultimate problem with war is that it puts men in the most troubling position: us or them. To choose them is to be righteous, peaceful; yet in that choice you open yourself to injury or death. To choose us is to be selfish, inhumane; yet to do so is to act under self-preservation, the law of the land. In short, it's either take a life or lose yours...and the enemy could make the choice quicker than you."

-A. Lewis
