Sadly, I would have to agree with your statement. War is insane, but what other way do we have to deal with insanity as it appears among Islamic fanatics?

There are two separate kinds of justice. There is moral justice, that which any normal and reasonable person KNOWS is wrong. This would include stealing, murder, shagging another man's wife, destroying someones property or willfully injuring another person other than in self-defence. These are the laws which our earliest human ancestors recognised and conformed to. to. Thern we have legally imposed justice. This is a vast field, and covers everything from treason to parking on a school crossing. In British law, this equates to common law and Statute law. For example, nowhere in the Law books is there a law against murder! When charged with murder in a Court, the wording is "contrary to common law." Common law is that which is generally accepted to be morally wrong, and passed down through generations by common usage and understanding. Animals, naturally, conform only to the laws of nature. Such as defending their territory and fighting off predators and rivals. Morals are a function of the higher brain, which is absent in the animal world. Thus animals cannot act out of spite or malice. Such emotions are absent.

This is not a rational question.Those who will not fight die or are ruled.Are you aware of any history.The world is what it is you either face it as it is or you die.The people of this country have been sheltered by the oceans in the past , no longer.This artificial isolation has led to a warped attitude that if we are nice they won't attack us.That is just wrong, until now they have just been unable to get to us.We are coming into an age where we will be as vulnerable as every other country only we will have a huge target painted on us.The unwillingness to fight will only encourage enemies as it always has.
This intellectual masturbation is ridiculous and deadly.

War is not always stupid and not always necessary. War is usually a result of communication breakdown and an failure to understand the point of view of the other side.

In the simplest of terms... yes.
