Another incomplete thought

"History has a way of repeating itself"

And no wonder. Throughout history wars and battle have been fought over small things and large. From percieved slights to unprovoked attacks. There are always valid reasons available for one side or another to hide behind. These paper-veils do nothing but offer an excuse for others to rally behind or against.

Conflict is created not by men but by evil. People can recognize this but what most fail to understand is that those men that fight wars, that kill and die, are the tools of evil and not the evil itself. Anyone willing to put his or her life on the line for a cause, to give their whole being, their soul, cannot be classified as evil. Evil acts are not done by evil men but by good men under the illusion that they are fighting for something that matters. All soldiers go to war to protect and defend, even as they fight within another nations borders. If conflict is to end the world needs to see that what must die is not the act of violence itself, which is born from the innate desire to survive and protect, but the causes people flock to. To burn the banners of the world, religion, nations, racism, etc will leave nothing but idealism. Evil cannot survive in a heart that has no boundaries.
