re: War (definition).........(another one)
"War is the continuation of politics by other means." Karl von Clauzewicz.
I especially like this one because it points directly to War as an example of the failure of the political process and the politicians driving that engine.
And in the modern world to not recognize that war can be fought on economic terms as well as with planes and bombs is ignorance elevated to ideological idolatry.
Publius
