War and peace, or peace and war? Which will it be? What has
it been?
Thomas Jefferson stated firmly:
“I
abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.”
Such a simple statement, yet so powerful. The avoidance of
war requires diplomacy and shared resources. The loss of a valued resource is
thus a lessened threat. Diplomacy builds understanding and common wisdom. But
how many gamers are in the world of diplomacy today? How many are looking out
for only their own narrow interests at the expense of everyone else?
It is an old problem of mankind. It is an expensive problem
for mankind today. Isn't it time we found lasting solutions to this primary
issue?
