I get angry many a time when I hear of wars and people dying as a result. No matter who dies in a war; soldier or civilian, I feel sorry for humanity. This is because in my thoughts about this subject, I have come to realize that wars are senseless and are perpetrated by a few greedy individuals who manage to sway us to believe they are serving the interest of the rest of us. In actual fact their own interest is paramount to them.
Think about it and see! During wars, guns must be used. Someone must manufacture them. They get money when there are many wars because that means a lot of orders for him. What such a person will do if there are no wars is to make sure there is one. They speak about peace and say they love peace but peace actually makes them sad. They hate peace. They sometimes even give out guns freely so that people can come back to them for more. They arm one faction to compel the other to buy from them. The whole military apparatus is business. The more there are soldiers the more the need for combat dresses, boots, military vehicles and the like. They don’t care about those innocent children and women who get killed by the bullets they make. All they care about is their money.
When the wars are raging, then they organize people, civil and military, for peace keeping. There too they win because peace keeping is not different from war. The only difference peace keeping and war is the name. For peace keeping to be effective, guns and bullets, aircrafts and vehicles, and military supplies must be bought. These people still win. Sometimes they start wars in some places so that they can increase their profits elsewhere. The wars in Iraq, and the threat on Iran are calculated to increase fuel prices. The recent skirmishes in Georgia are for the same purpose.
The soldiers who get killed are made to believe they are doing it for God. But God said ‘Thou shall not kill’. When they die they leave their children and parents and spouses behind who have to face a lot of difficulties for the rest of their lives. They are the losers and not the so-called enemy they fight. During their burial they are given such things as gun salutes which means more money for the business man who makes the bullets. They laugh all the way to the bank. They win the war any way. The losers in war are all humanity. One question which all those who fight wars should ask themselves is this: “Which animal kill its own kind for anything?” Only human beings kill for nothing
I want you to start spreading this view about wars if you think what I am saying is true. When ever you get the opportunity, say a very big shame to those who make arms and those who support them by making their business successful. Say no to wars. They are senseless.
