Winning a War Means Bringing the Enemy to Its Knees

This is the only way to conclude intractable differences. It is called capitulation! Anything else is called a stalemate. Laws governing war are asinine. War is intrinsically uncivilized regardless of the civilized or uncivilized nature of the entities that wage it and, must be treated as such. War must be waged at the lowest common denominator, Death.

Rules of war were agreed upon by the civilized entities during civil time periods. They are one of the most imbecilic notions I can think of. When a nation such as Israel goes to war it is fighting for its survival. How is it possible to assign rules of fighting when one’s very survival is at stake. Once you or your state is dead, nothing else maters. Therefore, killing large amounts of your enemy is a very natural act of war. It is not an atrocity. It is winning. Is there any difference between killing a solder or a civilian? A civilian that supports the war is the next solder. Solders cease to exist when not supported by civilians. Is a solders life different than a civilian life? Blood coming from the solder is just as red as the civilian, even as red as the old person or the child. Life is life. There is not one bit of difference between the two.

Examples are: Germany did not give up until large scale bombing killed large amounts of its citizens, Japan did not give in until they were nuked, the Native American Indian did not give up until the white man killed most of them. The Serbs did not capitulate until the shit was bombed out of them. On and on.

The civilization of war has lead to nothing more than states of constant war with small amounts of people being killed over long periods of time. Thus amounting to a large amount of people being killed over long periods of time. Consider the lives of large amounts of people leading a miserable existence for generations or even hundreds of years. Poverty, no education, illiteracy, no jobs. Just misery. That is an atrocity! Every limited civilized war you can think of was nothing but a long drawn out endeavor with many more killings over time and long periods of misery for the inhabitants of the areas effected.
Swift and decisive wars are much more efficient at eradicating intractable differences.

The only way to truly win a war is to bring your enemy to its knees. When you do that, atrocities(as some will define acts of bringing the enemy to its knees) will inevitably be committed. So be it! Killing is killing! When egomaniacal leaders create and exploit intractable differences, they simultaneously create dead people! They are the ones that have committed the atrocities!
