Interesting piece that spawns some controversy. Is war or isnt' war a good thing? In a society such as ours, I think war is needed and desired almost as much as peace is. Though is it a good? Well I guess that would be the topic up for discussion. War spawns over controversy.. if you think about it we have our own small wars with each other. Perhaps that's on a different level than that of a world war, but it's the same concept. As the population on earth increases it just becomes harder and harder for people to agree on things. People wont always agree and some things just get settled in other ways. Sometimes two parties make such a strong defense that it can not be settled with mere discussion... ::shrugs::

But then thats just it. War is chaos and so is the common world we know. Nothing is exactly stable or praiseable because it is so pure. In lost way I mean our nature. We are tied to the inevitable such as you describe in your passage.
