My thoughts on war in light of the atomic age. Not just the current war, but any war. Why don't we concentrate more on peace than war. Why do we hire the best brains to create weapons of destruction. When small countries play "catch up" we may regret holding the big stick over their heads instead of working cooperatively to solve universal problems that all countries face, health and welfare of the population.
