Dictators employ war to capture the territories and women they desired for. Power-thirsty monarchs launched wars to concentrate power. Nevertheless, it was innocent civillians that usually pay for the wars. Kids, senile elders and women are often the victims of wars. Some groups of people said that wars are the wheels that drive history forward. So the weak should pay for the cost of wars. What do you think of it?

We as bystanders want to have an objective view of history. In order to be objective enough, we need archaeologists to dig the losers out.

This is tragic for the whole human community we are living in. I am wondering how the invader reacts if the kid in the picture is his own.

This was especially true in the Viet Nam conflict. WW2 was a completely different scenario where this was not the case and the conflict was for a more noble cause.
