[Walter]

and what's your point, wally, besides the one on the top of your head? Is that war is a fact of life so we should just live with it?

I know. Those bloody Yanks should never have waged war against the British in the late 1700s. The Americans should now be forced to experience pain their entire lives.

They do. You're here nagging aren't you?

Do you think the quote in german would have changed it's intended meaning?

No, there have always been squirmishes and territorial disputes and fear of "others" and of course, and revenge.

But that shouldn't mean that we should give up trying to stop them, prevent them or find them morally repugnant.
