Neither do I. But those who decide to "appeal to the decision of arms" on the notion that they will quickly and easily win have little right to object if it turns out the war is long and hard and they are losing.
In the movie Twins Arnold's character has to keep explaining to the bad guys that one can always move from negotiation to violence, but trying to move back to peaceful negotiation of differences once violence has been initiated is very difficult. And the level of violence reached, once it has been unleashed, is also not always within the control of anybody. Things have a way of getting out of hand.
I suspect we might differ on "who started the war," and in particular who was most responsible for creating the climate of opinion that led up to it, but I hope we can agree that the war, while perhaps in the long run unavoidable, was a very bad idea.
“but I hope we can agree that the war, while perhaps in the long run unavoidable, was a very bad idea. “
Agreed.
