Originally posted by glindros View PostYour time has come and gone. It's our turn now! One night you'll wake up and find our teeth at your throat. Sleep well, Ambassador. Sleep lightly."There are no good wars. War is always the worst possible way to resolve differences. It degenerates and corrupts both sides to ever more sordid levels of existence, in their need to gain an advantage over the enemy. Those actively involved in combat are almost always damaged goods for the rest of their lives. If their bodies don't bear scars, their minds do, ofttimes both. Many have said it before, but it can't be said to enough, war is hell. "

Against such power, governments, and kingdoms, and conquerors cannot stand.
