War, I can believe that the determination required in fighting a war will blur ones normal sense of what is ‘reasonable’. It was a war that many thought at the outset could not be won. So many lives lost and appalling atrocities committed by the Nazis no doubt drove the Allies on in their determination to secure total victory. Of course, civilians, on both sides, don’t fare well. My generation has been so fortunate in not having to endure another World War; I don’t think that we can even begin to imagine what it would be like. So it’s almost impossible for us to judge those that had to make some awful decisions. If there is a God, I just hope that He sees fit to spare humanity from another global war, although there are enough local ones in progress to suggest that Divine intervention is unlikely to spare us from such activities in the future. I worry for my children and grandchildren as to what the future holds in store for them.
