On NPR All Thnigs Considered this evening, Daniel Schorr said
former Asst Secy of State Eagleberger once told him,
when the Soviet Union collapsed, that we would likely
look back and wish we still had the Cold War instead.
Sort of like Werner Herzog's: "And in that time men will
seek death but they will not find it, for
death will flee from them."
That someday is today. We won the Cold War about as
effectively as some children get cured of inherited immune deficiency:
they get an immune system *and* they get cancer. But there
is a difference: the children were sick to begin with; we
were only parnoid.

I think the ethical issues may have been
more serious for the American Civil War
than for WWI. Why couldn't the British
have done for the Germans as good as Grant did for Lee's
soldiers: http://www.csamerican.com/Doc.asp?doc=Grant
Maybe because the goal was to turn a major economic/hegemonial competitor
into another colony (while grabbing Germany's colonies) ?
