ABSTRACT
War, by its very nature, embodies the tyranny that it claims to address.… The worst effect of any war … is that it destroys the ground of peace, erodes its culture and wrecks its institutions, so preparing the way for new wars.… For us to live together in any kind of safety or to meet the real needs of human beings, like eliminating poverty or dealing with disease, the eradication of war is a prerequisite.
