+557 Wars should be decided by words and wisdom of diplomats, not by guns in the hands of 18-year-olds. amirite?

It would be nice if that worked. But sadly, it doesn't. War isn't nice. No one likes it. But it's necessary. And 18 yr olds don't go to war. They get trained first.

Except in many instances those discussions cause wars. See: War of Spanish Succession Franco-Prussian War Austro-Prussian War World War II World War I Russian Revolution Wars of Napoleon and more I can't remember right now

Wars aren't decided by those 18-year-olds. They do what those diplomats tell them to do.

If only the bad guys thought that way too. But they don't. There will always be those who try to solve things peacefully first. But peace doesn't always get through the other people's heads. Which is when things get ugly. Because there is not other way to do it. Because others don't believe in peace.

Sometimes I question the wisdom of diplomats.
