To The Daily Sun,
The loss of life with the shooting down of a commercial airliner over Ukraine is tragic. But why expect anything better of war? War is chaos.
Thomas Mann wrote: "War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace". In other words, war is easier to turn to than peace.
Who models war a lot? We, the commercially-driven countries of the civilized world, do. We allow among us war profiteers. The more war, the more money is made. The worst of all possible human behaviors -- joining in the profiteering of war and carelessly strewing suffering.
A field of suffering — Ukraine. The most densely-populated stretch of land in the world, now suffering Israeli invasion — Gaza.
