It simply is not true that war never settles anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There never is a convenient place to fight a war when the other man starts it.
Conflict does not lead to stability in the world.
There never was a war that was not inward.
War is not an exercise of the will directed at an inanimate matter.
There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
There are no military solutions - dialogue and diplomacy are the only guarantee of lasting peace.
The thing is that war is the opposite of negotiation. It's when you cannot negotiate, when you cannot talk, when you cannot reach agreements that then you have war.
Wars without military objectives have a tendency to go on forever.
War is never a lasting solution for any problem.
