Who knows what these young men, or the people that the bombed may have accomplished during a long peaceful life.

Why do we love killing each other so much that we devote so many resources to that end? I have sent 60 years reading about war in a hunt for the answer and I am no closer now than I was when I first started. WTF is wrong with us?
