I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the War is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.
No war is inevitable until it breaks out.
A war can perhaps be won single-handedly. But peace - lasting peace - cannot be secured without the support of all.
No war is over until the enemy says it's over.
Moreover, war has become a thing potentially so terrible and destructive that it should have been the common aim of statesmen to put an end to it forever.
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
Wars without military objectives have a tendency to go on forever.
War is never a lasting solution for any problem.
War is not an exercise of the will directed at an inanimate matter.
If few can stand a long war without deterioration of soul, none can stand a long peace.
