As the Jesuits used to say: "Cum finis est licitus, etiam media sunt licita."
Or as Colin Powell once stuttered: "The end justifies our means."

hanging tough
in their early forties
would like the rest of us to think
they could really handle one more war
and two more women.
But i know better.
You have no more lies to tell.
I have no more dreams to believe.
I have seen it in your face
I am sure you have noticed it
in mine,
that thousand-yard stare
that does not look out -
it looks in--
at the unutterable,
unalterable truth of war.
The eye sees
what the mind believes.
And all i know of war,
all that i have heard of peace,
has me looking over my shoulder
for that one bullet
which still has my name on it --
circling
round and round the globe
waiting and circling
circling and waiting
until i break from cover
and it takes it's best, last shot.
In the absence of Time,
the accuracy of guilt is assured.
It is a cosmic marksman."
Steve Mason.
GRANNY.
Originally posted by eatmybishopWar may be horrible, however it is needed. Not all are needed but much is. Even the Lord waged war and will wage war again. I agree that most of it is due to human nature and most of the things that go on during war is from the wicedness of man's heart. However, war itself is needed and will always be a part of life whether it be war between nations or war among your thaughts.

Originally posted by pritybettaYou might even say that so long as there is wickedness there will be war!! I then think it safe to say that war is here to stay for quite some time.

The iron hand it ain't no match for the iron rod
The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God
For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
It is only He who can reduce me to tears
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Like a thief in the night, He'll replace wrong with right
When He returns.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that is passes through
He unreleased His power at an unknown hour that no one knew
How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice ?
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness ?
Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride ?
Will I ever learn that there will be no peace, that war won't cease
Until He returns ?
Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground, take off your mask
He sees your deeds, He knows your needs even before you ask
How long can you falsify and deny what is real ?
How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal ?
Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned
He's got plans of his own to set up His throne
When He returns.
"When He Returns" by Bob Dylan
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
