War,
justifiable or not, is complete madness. It is hell. No matter what the
cause,
or what the reason is, war remains mankind’s greatest source of

existed for only 200 years, a relatively short time, and already we have

colonists.2 During the
Spanish-American War, such a strong anti-war mood
was being expressed by the
American people,...
