One thought

  1. Janet, profound quotes as always especially “only the dead have seen the end of the war” war is not a solution to anything. War is the result of autocrats failing to achieve objectives (genocide, more land) by peaceful means. In the 21st century I would like to see it become something our predecessors did.
