Before you go on to praise the benefits of Nukes, Agent Orange and
Depleted Uranium (all U$ed in the past to "further the well-being of
humankind"), could you give us some examples of the benefits of war ?
(except for the arms industry, that is, and please only benefits that
 couldn't be achieved by civilized means.)

How barbaric can you get?

P.S.: If you think that war is so great, please keep it for yourself in
      North America, instead of exporting it to the whole planet.
      (Or perhaps the "benefit" is only in the export of it ?!)
