Well stated. Where Mark Twain uses satire to get his point across about the evils of war, you state it clearly in no uncertain terms. I like that very much. Thanks for visiting and sharing. Liz

Soon, like in HORTON HEARS A WHO, or the fable THE HUNDRETH MONKEY, more folks will be working full time for peace than for war.

I think the first step is to forgive ourselves. "Forgive - Give for the Lord to handle. Surrender to unconditional love."

The second step, extend that forgiveness to others.

When forgiven as one, then the door opens to the era of peace on earth for folks of good will.

A WAR PRAYER'S PEACEFUL SOLUTION - FORGIVENESS - NO WAR REQUIRED

Still thinking. Thanks Jay.

Bloated government is the greatest shame of mankind. Its vices create cowards and slaves, wars and widows. What the Founding Fathers sacrificed to give you, you allowed to slip away.

Thanks for posting the story in its original form, if another format. I think the words are most powerful when delivered with quiet humility rather than thundered as too many productions do.

Thank yoiu so much for posting Mark Twain's great treatise on the evil, senslessness, burtality, and stupidity of warfare. Peace, Robert.

Just as Hell is the absence of God, Peace is simply the absence of war.

War is an inherently stupid activity. It is profitless, indeed it is the destruction of profit, for it costs labor, and resources, and destroys labor and resources.

Indeed, war is such an expensive activity, it can only be afforded by the state, through forced taxation. Through compulsory association.

War is an act of emotional self-gratification. An act of self-righteous mutual annihilation, a bloody penance, to no God.
