Romanticize peace

Let us be clear on this: the simple and plain truth is that "peace" is cheaper than "war." Peace is also more rational, logical, moral, sociologically pertinent, culturally desirable, essentially civilized and in its essence absolutely humanitarian, compassionate and merciful.
"War," on the other hand, even at the best of its glory, heroism, and its stated noble goals (national honor, dignity, etc.) is ultimately destructive of human spirit, subversive in its consequences, mercilessly obliterates life and is catastrophic in the end. "War" in all its manifestations is vandalism against humanity
