	God of War (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kratos was once a warrior feared throughout the civilized world, famous for his relentlessness in battle, cunning combat tactics, and prowess as a leader.
		The God of War appeared before him, and explained that the death of his wife and child were meant to sever the last vestiges of his humanity, to forge him into the greatest warrior the world would ever know.
		There were rumours that a sequel is in development in early 2006, to be released sometime in 2007.

	Romania during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite this association with the winning side "Greater Romania" was not to survive the war, losing territory to both Bulgaria and the Soviet Union.
		Though much of the killing was done in war zone by Romanian troops, there were also substantial persecutions in back of the front line.
		By 1944, the Romanian economy was in tatters due to the expenses of the war (and Allied bombardment), and resentment of the heavy hand of Nazi Germany was growing even among those who had once enthusiastically supported the war.

	ZNet Commentary: War
		There is a basic weakness in governments, however massive their armies, however wealthy they are, however they control the information given to the public, because their power depends on the obedience of citizens, of soldiers, of civil servants, of journalists and writers and teachers and artists.
		There has been a worm eating at the innards of its complacency all along - the knowledge of the American public, buried, but in a very shallow grave, easy to disinter, that this government came to power by a political coup, not by popular will.
		If Bush starts a war, he will be responsible for the lives lost, the children crippled, the terrorizing of millions of ordinary people, the American GIs not returning to their families.

	Washington in crisis over opposition to Iraq war
		Rather, the aims of this war are bound up with the interests of a financial oligarchy that is pursuing an equally rapacious campaign to destroy the living standards of workers in the US itself.
		The precipitous decline in public support for the war is the product of the unrelenting carnage in Iraq, together with the realization by broad layers of the population that they have been systematically lied to by the administration, the Democratic Party and the media, all of which are profoundly discredited.
		There is no faction within the ruling elite that can credibly point to the record and claim, “We opposed this war.” The Congress, both big business parties, the media and the corporations are all implicated.

		Support for the war is shallow, but opposition to the war is deep.
		It will also depend on journalists who tire of the government's manipulation, and on dissident soldiers sick of a war that is not a war but a massacre.
		There is a basic weakness in governments, however massive their armies, however wealthy their treasuries, however they control the information given to the public: Their power depends on the obedience of citizens, of soldiers, of civil servants, of journalists and writers and teachers and artists.

	Why We Love War (Promo) Lawrence LeShan
		War is not an entirely universal activity—there have been a few cultures in which it is unknown.
		During the Crimean War in the early 1850s, A.W. Kingslake theorized that war is a foreign circus put on by rulers or ruling classes to distract citizens from troubles at home.
		In World War I, for example, Germany’s rulers were far more occupied with trying to unify the country in order to fight the war than with fighting the war in order to unify the country.

	NR Editors on Just War & Iraq on National Review Online
		According to the tradition, the criteria for judging a war to be just are that it be for a just cause, have a reasonable likelihood of success, be unlikely to cause more evil than it prevents, be declared by a competent authority, discriminate between combatants and non-combatants, and be a last resort.
		Under the traditional doctrines, a war to overthrow the Iraqi regime is amply justified.
		Their best determination is that a war would be very likely to succeed and would be likely to bring more good than ill. No targeting of civilians is contemplated.

	Declaring and Waging War: The U.S. Constitution (April 2002)
		War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.”
		The separation of the power of declaring war from that of conducting it, is wisely contrived to exclude the danger of its being declared for the sake of its being conducted.”
		Therefore, under our system of government although the president is personally convinced that war against a certain nation is just and morally right, he is nevertheless prohibited by our supreme law of the land from waging it unless he first secures a declaration of war from Congress.

		There will be a war, no matter what the best intentions of the protestors are.
		Once the war starts, we will all be told how we have to drop our opposition and "support the president" in the name of "unity" (whatever that means).
		Initially, polls will probably show an increase in support for the war once the bombs start dropping, though I expect that to taper off once body bags start coming home and oil is selling for $45 a barrell.

	The Great War . Prologue \| PBS
		The World War of 1914-18 - The Great War, as contemporaries called it -- was the first man-made catastrophe of the 20th century.
		Historians can easily identify the literal "smoking gun" that set the War in motion: a revolver used by a Serbian nationalist to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand (heir apparent to the Austro-Hungarian throne) in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914.
		But by the end of the first year, a new kind of war emerged on the battlefield that had never been seen before -- or repeated since: total war-producing stalemate, the result of a war that went on for 1,500 days.

	Just War, Once More (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		So let's try again: The just war tradition is a method of moral reasoning that tries to relate the proportionate and discriminate use of armed force to securing peace — and the justice, freedom, order, and security that are the component parts of peace.
		War, in the just war tradition, is a moral term, and its moral justification derives from its capacity to advance the cause of the peace of order.
		The just war tradition is more like calculus: it's an art as much as a science, and it asks us to use our moral imaginations as well as our logical skills.

		It's a cliché to say World War I is the root of World War II, the Cold War, even the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but it's true.
		War in 1914 and the invasion of Iraq in 2003 were the result of choices made by a tiny group, who were not responding to a public clamor for war.
		Even the motive for war was similar for Germany and the United States: to prevent a fate worse than a short war.

	Sliding Into War: Wishful Thinking, Once Again, in Washington

		Had he told the truth, the war could have been stopped before the disastrous Tet offensive in early 1968.
		And the Vietnam Memorial would be less than half the size it is today, since there would be 30,000 fewer names to accommodate.

		Employed once again as a war artist in 1940 during the Second World War, Nash chose this time to depict the air war.

		These collections were once part of the War Department Library and have been cataloged and published as "List of the Photographs and Photographic Negatives Relating to the War for the Union" (War Department Subject Catalogue No. 5, 1897; 219 p.), filmed as National Archives Microfilm Publication T251.

		They had developed a huge assembly of claims which, in fact, would have meant that Europe could be dominated by German hegemony totally, and were mentally not willing to forfeit this all in 1918-1919.
		And that created this climate in which many people then began to think one had to fight the war once again.
		The allied governments were under the pressure of their own public, which demanded the Germans to pay for it all.

		The fighting was at close quarters, and it was only the determined resistance of the air cavalry troopers, combined with the superior firepower they were able to bring to bear on their attackers, that prevented their small defensive perimeter from being over-run.
		The courage of the soldiers who fought in the Ia Drang Valley, he declared, would "affirm what's noble and lasting in the human spirit." That is certainly a worthwhile aspiration.
		That was the almost invariable pattern in military engagements that followed in the Vietnam War; the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong chose when, where, and how long to fight.
