The insanity of war

Only a few years back there was a great war. Most of the countries of the world were in it and everyone of them was trying to kill as many people as possible on the otherside. the Englishmen were trying to kill as the Germans and the Germans were killing the Englishmen. Millions of people were killed in the war and many thousands were maimed for whole life . Some have no eyes left and were blinded. Others have no arms or legs.

Do you think it is very civilized and sensible to kill each other like this? if two men start fighting in streets the policemen separate them and everybody thinks how silly they are. But how much siller and more foolish it is for great countries to start a fight and then to kill thousands? It is just two savages fighting in the jungles. And if the savages are called barbarians, how much more barbarous are the countries that behave that way?
