War is very ugly business. The civilian population is a valid target in war as the farmer, the baker, the mechanics etc. are an integral part of the war machine. Without the civilian population that supports the war machine the war machine would grind to a halt due to lack of supplies.

I do not know if the war between Saudi and Yemen is justifiable by the Saudis. . I do know that war must be brutal in he extreme to win.

Buchanan is correct in his analysis of post World War I. Our actions set in motion World War II.

If you are not willing to kill your enemy and all that stand with him, surrender, for you have already lost.

Hitler was an assuagement to their battered dignity, but at a terrible cost to humanity.

Both sides can easily lose in a war.

False. The work they are engaged in is blameless. And they didn't choose to be subjects of these regimes.

The farmer farms. The mother mothers. The just man, as Hopkins says, justices.
