Was it stupid and senseless for the Belgium and French to defend themselves when attacked?

Yeah, I agree. Look at what it started, it started us on the road to the deaths of hundreds of millions and the beginning of the suicide of the West. I think the soldiers should have taken their rifles, gone home and made their rulers dress in tights, shove them in a wrestling ring and make then duke it out themselves. I think George V and Tsar Nicholas would have made an interesting team. I think if the US stayed out of it, despite the wasted lives, I think WWI would have had to come to an end in a more equal negotiated peace, perhaps we could have avoided the second World War. I think if I mad add, Woodrow Wilson deserves a kick in the butt too.
