THE WAR TO END ALL WAR

World War 1 was supposed to be that, the war to end all war. A world government was supposed to be created, with Great Britain ruling behind the scenes using American military muscle to police the world and enforce the will of the world government. Once such a system could be established no other nation could threaten The British Empire because it would be against international law.

That was the plan.

But it didn't turn out that way. Not initially, anyway. But it has now. Sort of. But it took a second world war to get to this state of affairs. That is because the USA voted to stay out of The League of Nations.

So the war to end all war, World War 1, didn't work in that respect.

But there is one war that could end all war.

Can you guess what it is?

It is the one war that I am in favour of.

Because it would end all war.

And that is to fly all warmongers to a designated time and place and have them fight each other to the death.

As Harry Patch so eloquently said:

"War is organised murder and nothing else....politicians who took us to war should have been given the guns and told to settle their differences themselves, instead of organising nothing better than legalised mass murder"

With the warmongers dead who would be left to monger war?
