[Please, warring countries, all of them, stop. Stop the war. You must find a way of negotiating for peace. Strive for peace. A negotiated peace is always better than an endless war.]

A very rare moment when I agree with Frankie.

Last I checked, there were no endless wars—although there have been some fairly long ones.

The Punic Wars concluded, as did the Sino-Japanese wars.

If the unjust side demands too much or concedes too little.

The quip “there never was a good war or a bad peace”, while clever, needs loads of qualifications.

As much as I do not care for the Vatican II flower children, the quip “If you want peace, work for justice” is much better—but that requires having some clue about what justice is.

The inverse, exemplified by the military-industrial complex is:
“If you want profit, work for war”

Falling for his subtlety?

The guy is a demon.
