June in Manhattan

War is crime - theft and murder - on a mass basis. As long as individual humans continue to be capable of - and commite - crime on an individual basis we shall continue to be capable of - and commite - crime on a mass basis.

Individual criminals justify their crimes with bogus reasons (often the result of rampant egotism). Leaders of mass crimes do the same - Hitler with the bogus threat of invasion by Poland to justify that invasion; Bush with the bogus threat of WMD's to justify invading Iraq.
