" I personally do not believe that any nations benefits from war,"
" Oh, I wouldn't say so... :)" O.K., I was thinking more in the line of emotional damage and physical (both personal and property) destruction, rather than the "national wealth" perspective. I am appalled at times at my reactions/prejudices....... we, like may others have a multi cultural society, and on occasions my internal, i.e. *thought* reactions are not pretty. I looked back as to why I should think that way, and it was the physical circumstances around me i.e. who lived near us, and the conditions that they lived in, that formed those reactions, rather than any familial attitudes. And I might say, they are so deeply ingrained that I have to really watch myself and not express them, as they are not constructive! I am proud to belong to such a list, where people are prepared to clarify what has been stated, or at least the motivation behind the words, and also apologize for offences given. Long may such understanding be fostered.
