Conflict in the Twilight :: history

Conflict in the Twilight When has war ever been fair, just or necessary?Yet, we all wage wars. In my opinion all wars are a result of the breakdown of the rules of society which leads to the polarization of sensibility and reason. The root cause of the problem is usually trivial compared to the eventful disaster. No reason can warrant the taking of precious innocent lives yet wars take place despite the wisdom and the best efforts of the human race, close as if they are preordained. I dont believe they are preordained, but they are certainly bred.As we are taught proper from wrong separately one of us builds an ideology based on teachings and experiences. This ideology, which is ideally meant to make one a better human being, becomes the reason for conflict when one is inexorable and applies ones standards onto others. As soon as the first bullet is fired both sides are on a roller coaster and they live run into a mixture of ego, righteousness, comradeship, strategies, victories , pilebacks and revenge. The situation grows to obsession and desperation and soon the gloves are off - the nastier the better.During WW II the British were fighting the war as gentlemen but British parliamentarian, Mr. R. T. Bower, said, when you are fighting for your life against a ruthless opponent you cannot be governed by Queensberry rules- the code that governs boxing. Speaking about the government policy of Prime take care Neville Chamberlain he is claimed to have said The government would rather lose the war under Queensberry rules than do any topic unbecoming to an absolutely perfect gentleman. That kind of thing will not do he said. Soon after Winston Churchill took over as Prime Minister the policy changed and covert operations were executed to set Europe ablaze by sabotage, assassinations and a host of other irregular warfare. It has happened in every war and on every side. In the twilight the right and the wrong look similar, such are the times that we live in.The A b omb was invented and immediately used. It may have brought an end to the war but the Japanese people have yet to recover from the psychological trauma of the event. They shun violence and their constitution forbids them to send their troops out of Japan, not even for the unite Nations, except, recently, as peace keepers. Their constitution was written for them by the Americans after the war but even after all these years of frugal development, which has made them an economic super power, they are not willing to change that provision in their constitution.
