Over the centuries, just about any border has been settled by either diplomatic agreements or plain fighting over it. That raises a few questions to me, sprouting from the following: "Is warfair a legitimate way of settling things?"

If yes, then aren't militant separatists all over the world engaged in a legitimate process? Why should it be condemned that 'the army' is fighting 'the rebels'? If war is an accepted process, does that mean the human suffering and casualties are mere side-effects? Isn't warfair a degradation of humanity, instead of a tool?

If no, then who decides what should become of an area or a people? Who decides which country has a right to excist and which one doesn't? So many areas in countries all over the world fight for independence, using peaceful and/or agressive ways. Who should they aim their 'lobby' at? The country(ies) of which they are a part today? Those do seem to have the right and power to decide upon the case. But how was that power established? Who started that country, anyway? Borders have shifted before, and not exactly on a small scale. Countries are rather relative and boundaries subject to change. In this perspective one might wonder: wouldn't 'Global Gettingalong' benefit from the founding of a few new countries?

(Just a few thoughts, I'd greatly appreciate someone else's thoughts on anything in this post.)

Fair? Just? Who are we kidding? Even in peacetime, fairness and justice are rare phenomenons.

Perhaps you could say that some wars are inevitable, but seldom just.

I disagree. Wars happen because we LET them happen. Wars happen for reasons both short and long term.

For instance, WWII was far less likely to have happened if the Treaty of Versailles hadn't taken most of Germany's money and resources. When the global depression hit, Germany was incapable of dealing w/it. Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat for all their problems and prepared the country for war to bring Germany out of the Depression. If World leaders had been less intent on punishing Germany at Versailles, maybe millions of people would still be alive.

War is only a natural consequence of the set of inherent treats of any human, more so for a group of humans.

There is no question about fairness of war while fairness pertains to the artificially introduced notions such as morality, a great deal of an unfair invention by itself.

In general, it is wrong to ask whether anything is fair or not fair, while fairness is relative to the morality of a specific group and thus changes from one group to another.

Is War Fair? Heck no...how can it be fair? It is aa violent action that can go on for years and in the end, who is actually the winner? So many innocent people die, men women and children who did not ask for war and what about the soldiers who are sent to fight and hoping to return home. War is just not fair...it is about violence not about peace!

I agree! In a world full of suffering and misery all we have to do is join hands in our WAR AGAINST POVERTY AND DISCRIMINATION!
