Well if only one side showed up it would sound like another French military defeat.

Do you know the rest of the poem where that line came from?
"What if they gave a war and nobody came?
Why, then, the war would come to you!
He who stays home when the fight begins
And lets another fight for his cause
Should take care:
He who does not take part
In the battle will share in the defeat.
Even avoiding batttle will not avoid battle.
Since not to fight for your own cause
Really means
Fighting on behalf of your enemy's cause."
Instead of just using the first line, why don't you think of what the whole poem means.

that was the title of a really good movie back in about 1970. Had Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine, Suzanne Pleshette
I was in the Army when I saw it.

You're 40 years too late for that one.
Oh, and THAT war had a draft. This one, being fought with a 100% voluteer force.
Wierd, huh?

if no one showed there be no war, unless you refer to only one side, then they would win by default or simply be bored and go home.
RRRR
